Additional information:
I regularly work with a pediatric registered dietician to assess children and their families with feeding disorders. We use a whole body approach in our assessments because feeding problems affect children in a variety of ways. We work very closely with both the child and his/her family because the stress associated with a child who is struggling to eat most often proliferates throughout the family. We want family members involved in the entire process as we believe this is best for the quickest generalization of skills outside of the therapy environment to all other settings.
