'Team work makes the dream work'

SUCCEED- I had the opportunity this week to attend tube feeding training led by the team from Succeed Child Feeding Alliance.

A professional development opportunity offering practical experience with tube feeding, as well as the opportunity to hear from and speak to those with lived experience (tube fed themselves or parent/carer of a tube fed child).

This method supports safe, enjoyable, and responsive mealtimes. However, a family chooses to feed.

Fantastic post by Coastwide Therapy Services outlining:

1) New NDIS needs assessments that will come into effect Mid 2026

2) Importance of having goals that are specific and individualised to your child and outline what is important to them, not for them.

3) Why regular review of your child's goals is necessary

I've been largely absent from social media processing the news of the NDIA price review 2025-2026, it's impact on my clients, their families and my capacity to continue providing a mobile service. However, in the background, like so many of my Allied Health colleagues, we have been advocating.

I wanted to share that whilst a small step, today we were heard. Myself and fellow Allied Health colleagues and met with MP and MP for Murrumba to advocate and voice our concerns.

There was tension but the Member's listened and we have opened a door for further conversations with a Teams meeting booked for next week. Thank you Ali and Steven for your time!

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Distressing content ahead! The NDIA annual price review has been released and it is devastating for the families that so desperately need our services, for our fellow Dietitian/Physio/Podiatry colleagues whose services have been disgustingly undervalued and for 100% mobile therapists (like ours) whose travel reimbursements have been cut by 50% making our service unsustainable. It's time to say, 'enough is enough!'

As of tomorrow, NDIS will be changing how funds may be accessed. A great summary regarding these changes can be found in this post by Coastwide Therapy Services.

'For children, behaviour is communication'

Parents often express concern about their child's mealtime behaviours such as:

⭐️ food refusal
⭐️ mealtime refusal
⭐️ refusing to sit at the table
⭐️ running from the table
⭐️ whinging, crying, shouting, arguing
⭐️ throwing food, plates, utensils
⭐️ using words like 'yuck', 'I don't like that',
'I'm not eating' etc

These behaviours are a child's way of saying that something isn't ok. Perhaps:

⚡️they know that eating causes them pain
⚡️they have difficulty knowing when they
are hungry, thirsty or full
⚡️they don't feel safe
⚡️they remember that scary choking
incident
⚡️eating is hard work and takes a lot of
energy
⚡️ they feel out of breath when they eat
⚡️ mealtimes are not a positive or
enjoyable experience
⚡️eating is too overwhelming for their
sensory system

Our role as feeding therapists is to look beyond the surface of behaviours and help parents unpack the 'why' ⁉️

🌟Happy Speech Pathology Week 2024- 'Communicate Your Way'🌟

Everyone communicates differently.
Whether it’s spoken, signed, digital, or written, communication bridges gaps, fosters meaning and understanding, and strengthens relationships.

There is communication in everything we do.

At Hungry Monkeys Feeding Therapy🐵, we focus on understanding and supporting each child's unique way of communicating to build positive and supportive mealtime connections with those around them. This creates a strong foundation for any mealtime challenges they may face.

A big shout-out to the incredible Speech Pathologists working tirelessly to support every form of communication!

Did you know......we are keeping up with the evidence!

Here at 🐵, we regularly attend professional development opportunities to provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based feeding therapy to our clients.

Today it was all about 👄 Oral Motor Feeding Therapy.

Yes! You guessed it, it was all about looking at and working on the function of the lips, cheeks, tongue, jaw (and more) used in eating & drinking.

Quote of the day:
'The best way to get better at eating is to eat'
(whenever safe to do so)

Evidence brought to us by two amazing feeding therapists and Katherine from . Thanks ladies!
