Community Spotlight: San Diego Feeding Therapy
In the heart of San Diego, a beacon of hope shines brightly for families navigating the challenges of feeding difficulties: San Diego Feeding Therapy, led by the passionate and dedicated Amy Williams. As an occupational therapist specializing in pediatric feeding therapy, Amy has transformed mealtimes for countless children and their families, turning moments of stress into joyful, nourishing experiences.
Amy's journey into feeding therapy was deeply personal, inspired by her own family's experiences. This personal connection ignited a fervent desire to support other families facing similar challenges. With over 100 hours of specialized training and an Advanced Practice Certification in Swallowing Assessment, Evaluation, or Intervention, Amy's expertise is both vast and profound. Her holistic approach delves into the underlying causes of feeding issues, addressing oral motor concerns, sensory preferences, and the impacts of early childhood eating habits.
At San Diego Feeding Therapy, the philosophy is clear: every child is unique, and so is their feeding journey. Amy emphasizes the importance of family involvement and parent coaching, ensuring that caregivers are equipped with concrete strategies tailored to their child's needs. By fostering a collaborative environment, she empowers parents to become integral parts of their child's eating, growth, and development.
But what truly sets Amy apart is her unwavering commitment to creating a special bond with each child and family. She believes that mealtimes should be nutritious, stress-free, and fun for the whole family. Her child-led, neurodiversity-affirming approach ensures that therapy is not only effective but also respectful and attuned to each child's individual needs.
“The main way my practice differs from industry standard is that my sessions are rarely done at a table. My sessions are done in the living room, in the backyard, at a park, at the beach, or at a restaurant – just to name a few. I believe that confidence and skill acquisition, for a child, needs to be tied into when children learn best, which is through play.” - San Diego Feeding Therapy Owner, Amy Williams
