Every food has sensory characteristics, including its texture, flavour, temperature, smell, appearance and predictability. This tool can help you identify patterns in the foods your child currently accepts and suggest foods with similar characteristics to explore.
This tool provides general educational information only. It does not assess or diagnose feeding difficulties, sensory processing differences, swallowing difficulties, nutritional concerns or medical conditions. Seek individual advice from an occupational therapist, speech pathologist, dietitian, GP or paediatrician where concerns are ongoing or affecting health, growth, nutrition, safety or family wellbeing.
