In this hour, Marsha discusses the evidenced-based neurodivergent affirming PFD shifts behind the “try it” approach for intervention. If you have ever felt uncomfortable writing a goal and asking a child to “take a bite” or “lick it three times,” know that you are not alone. Work through relevant case studies with Marsha, Erin, and Michelle as they troubleshoot viable alternatives that embrace a child’s autonomy. Learn how to write goals correlating to daily mealtime routines, implement authentic mealtime joy for child and caregiver, and document clinically relevant progress.
