When working with neurodivergent individuals, we have to make sure we are upholding their individual differences and not creating a negative experience with food. Knowing HOW to introduce food and HOW to help them explore new food can be challenging. Specifically, with gestalt language and gestalt processors, it can be challenging to pick food that is meaningful to them. This course will review gestalt processing and gestalt language processing in mealtime. This course will include functional strategies and ideas to implement after you have taken the time to learn about your patient and family.
