TLC Sensory Food Explorer Program
TLC Sensory Food Explorer Program is a play-based program that focuses on your child’s comfort level in exploring and learning about food in a stress-free way. The program follows the developmental progression of both feeding skills and texture introduction when working with your child’s sensitivity towards food.
