Complex Feeding & Mealtime Success:
Sensory, Motor, and Behavior Techniques to Promote Food Acceptance
Do you work with children who throw food, refuse to sit at a table to eat, or refuse to try new foods? Or maybe they will only eat the same food over and over? And going to a restaurant is out of the question for these families you work with...

These kids may not be just "picky eaters" but instead could have deep-seated skill deficit, medical, dietary or psychological components that must be dealt with first!

1 in 4 ‘typically developing’ kids are diagnosed with a feeding disorder with it increases to 3 in 4 for those with special needs. With this large population of children suffering from these difficulties, there comes a lot of complexity given each unique situation. You will need a vast knowledge base to treat every individual effectively and there has been very little training available — UNTIL NOW...
