title of course = Picky Eaters and Mealtime Success for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorders
Dates = May 7, 2010
location = Portland, ME
description = Whether a child is on the autism spectrum or presents with an independent sensory processing disorder, mealtimes
can be very difficult for both the child and parent. When a child has a sensory processing disorder, aversions and / or obsessions to
tastes, smells, and textures often develop. Along with this, children may also have difficulty with motor movements, which may
effect chewing, swallowing, and sitting. All of these are needed to maintain healthy appetites and good nutrition. Mealtimes nourish
our souls as much as our bodies, through sharing of conversation and social relationships, two other problem areas for children
with autism spectrum disorders. Instead of a time for enjoyment, mealtimes often become battlegrounds – nourishing no one.

This seminar will give therapists the strategies and tools to develop, implement and teach families a program that is successful for
all mealtimes since it focuses on the child as a whole. It will review typical developing eating skills, medically recognized nutritional
needs of the growing child, integrative nutrition, and sensory-based approaches for mealtime. We will explore a variety of
techniques that encourage children to participate happily in their mealtimes.
