GI challenges are common in autistic individuals, and they often show up in ways that directly impact feeding, behavior, and participation at mealtimes.
In this episode of First Bite, Michelle Dawson, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, BCS-S, FNAP, is joined by Leena Sayed, MS, CF-SLP, from Tots to Teens Therapy to take a closer look at the connection between autism, gastrointestinal health, and feeding. Together, they discuss how often GI concerns occur, the signs pediatric feeding therapists should be watching for, and how these factors align within the medical domain of Pediatric Feeding Disorder.
You will gain a clearer understanding of how underlying GI issues can influence feeding presentations and walk away with insights to better support the whole child while strengthening your clinical decision-making in feeding therapy.
