Pep Talk Nutrition LLC offers food exposure classes for toddlers, children, and adolescents. Classes are offered at a variety of levels to meet the needs of multiple individuals.
Level 1: Intended for children 3 - 6 years old with few to no feeding concerns. This is appropriate for children hesitant but willing to try new foods and for families hoping to instill a joy for food in their children. Class sizes will range from 3 - 7 children. If you are hoping to accommodate a larger group, please reach out to discuss additional options.
Level 2: Intended for children 3-6 years old with significant food aversions related to sensory processing disorder or avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. This class is appropriate for children of all developmental stages and will be customized to meet individual needs. Class sizes are limited to 3 children.
Level 3: Intended for children 7-10 years old. See Level 2 description for further information.
Level 4: Intended for children 11 years old and above. See Level 2 description for further information.
Please note that a 15 minute consultation phone call is required prior to your child’s first class. Children with history of aspiration will require a note from a Speech Language Pathologist, or the results from a recent swallow study, that provides evidence that your child is safe to be exposed to small amounts of solid foods. Exposure to major allergens is required prior to attending class. Accommodations will be made for children with history of food allergies or intolerances. Food Exposure Classes are currently limited to the Cincinnati location.
