Helping Children Overcome Eating Disorder/ Feeding Disorder

Have you tried every trick—special plates, new recipes, even bribing—only to feel overwhelmed and exhausted when nothing works?
Struggling with feeding challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when mealtimes turn into daily battles. For children with developmental disorders, feeding disorders are more common than you might think, with many families facing the frustration and exhaustion of trying everything without success. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone!
​
The solution isn’t about endless mealtime battles, sneaky strategies, or pressuring your child to “just take one more bite.” Let’s face it—doing more of what doesn’t work won’t bring the peace or progress you’re hoping for. Real transformation comes from addressing 3 core areas: Oral-Motor Skills, Sensory Integration, and Nutrition.
It’s about understanding your child’s unique needs, creating positive mealtime experiences, and building a foundation for lasting progress. Results don’t come from surface-level tactics or one-size-fits-all advice. They come from a tried-and-tested program designed to help your child eat with confidence, nourish their body, and enjoy mealtimes again.
That’s exactly what the TASTE Program is here to deliver.

The Story of
T.A.S.T.E Program
Pratiksha Gupta
Founder of TASTE Program
Feeding is a fundamental act of love, a mother’s first connection with her child. But for many, it becomes a daily battle. Did you know that 90% of autistic children and 70% of children with developmental challenges face feeding disorders? These aren’t just statistics—they reflect families enduring stress-filled meal times instead of joyful ones.
Mothers often came to us with the same heart-wrenching questions: “Why won’t my child eat? Why do they gag or refuse food?” It was painful to see their worries.
Feeding is about more than nutrition—it’s a basic human right and the foundation for physical and emotional growth.
This realization sparked the creation of the TASTE Program—Therapy, Assistance Support, Training, and Exercises for Children's Eating—a multidisciplinary effort to transform feeding struggles into moments of connection and joy.
A Specialized Approach to Help Your Child Eat with Confidence
How it Works?
The TASTE Program is a results-driven, holistic approach designed to address feeding challenges in children with developmental disorders. The program blends expert guidance with hands-on support, offering tailored interventions from a multidisciplinary team of speech-language pathologists, feeding experts, and dietitians.
Feeding difficulties may include refusing certain textures, gagging on foods, or consuming a limited diet. These challenges often stem from a combination of oral-motor skill deficits, sensory sensitivities, and nutritional imbalances. The TASTE Program focuses on these core areas to create lasting progress, helping children build a positive relationship with food and thrive nutritionally.
