Supporting an anxious eater in pediatric feeding therapy means considering both the child's perspective and the parent's, from the first assessment through treatment planning. In this course, Marsha Dunn Klein, OTR/L, MEd, FAOTA, presents assessment and treatment of anxious eaters through the lens of the Get Permission Approach.
Marsha defines who anxious eaters are and outlines the Get Permission Approach to pediatric feeding therapy. She then walks through the assessment process, including preparing parents ahead of the assessment, role modeling principles, the parent interview, observing feeding and mealtimes, therapeutic feeding, and determining next steps.
You'll also learn the Get Permission treatment principles of Mealtime Peace, Rehearsals, Change Happens, Dilute the Worry, and New Food Trying Strategies, along with how to prioritize the components of feeding therapy for anxious eaters.
