FREE MINI GUIDEAs an allied health professional who works with neurodivergent families,I can almost guarantee you’ve got kids on your caseload who struggle with food.
Autistic children are 5 times more likely to experience feeding problems than their non-autistic peers.
Some families might be doing ok but need some general guidance, while others are drowning in the stress of a child at serious risk of a feeding disorder. Whatever the circumstances, your families need help and some of that responsibility may land on you.
I’m a dietitian with a PhD, and in all my years of academia, was never taught anything about these type of feeding challenges.
It wasn’t until one of my own children went down that path that I realised how unequipped I was to help her.
I enrolled in all the ‘feeding’ courses and while they gave me a decent foundation, I found that putting those ideas into practice was very different to learning them theoretically.
They didn’t prepare me for the curveballs I’d face when a family was sitting across from me, and I constantly felt like the duck who’s frantically treading water.
Now, those days are long gone, and I’ve been exclusively working in the Pediatric Feeding space for many years. Between the initial foundations I learned, my years of clinical experience, and my own academic research, I’ve built a framework that’s helped many of my families over the years. Seeing their joy and relief will always be the best reward of all, but I’m just one person and can’t possibly help them all…
...This is where I need your help.
Your caseload already trusts you, they know you, and you know them. If you can begin using my framework to help these families, we’re all going to be better off for it.
