Dr. Amy Drayton provides an excellent review of potential feeding problems for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder or other developmental disabilities. This talk provides and entertaining and thorough review of potential barriers, and effective treatments for each. Highly recommend.
Great strategies to implement for this particular area!
Loved this presentation! Dr. Drayton is an engaging presenter and you can tell she is both knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. The strategies I learned from this CEU will go a long way in helping to inform treatment protocols for my clients who are selective eaters. I also love that she cracked a couple of jokes here and there to break up the monotony that can come with an academic presentation like this. Plus, you can’t go wrong with some quality cat memes!!
Wonderful presentation – the information was very nice organized and practical.
A great resource to have to get a better understanding of feeding therapy. I was exposed to a large amount of information I was not aware of. I feel better equipped to approach this area of practice.
