Frequently Asked Questions — North Barrington Families

Will sensory therapy fix my child's picky eating?

It can help, especially when picky eating is rooted in sensory differences (textures, temperatures, smells). We address the underlying sensory factors. For complex feeding cases, we may also recommend feeding therapy with our SLPs or referral to a feeding specialist.

My North Barrington child is a sensory-seeker. Will they ever calm down?

Sensory-seeking is your child telling you what their nervous system needs. With the right kind of input (deep pressure, heavy work, vestibular input), many sensory-seeking children become beautifully regulated when their needs are met. The goal isn't to "stop" the seeking but to channel and meet it appropriately.
