HELPING YOUR CHILD WITH EXTREME PICKY EATING.

5 to 7.5 million children in the US have moderate to severe feeding disorders. 80 percent of children with special needs struggle with feeding.

Having a child with extreme picky eating habits can be both frustrating and worrisome—especially if parents are concerned their child isn't getting the nutrition they need to grow, stay healthy, and thrive. And for children with a feeding or selective eating disorder (SED), this is especially so. This book provides a clinically proven program that will help parents get their child's feeding disorder under control. Parents will find practical strategies they can use for dealing with food aversion, low appetite, sensory challenges, autism spectrum-related food disorders, oral motor delay, acid reflux, and food allergies.
