It is hoped that the information available on his page will help support your understanding of your child’s eating.  Often as a parent it can be hard to understand why a child is eating the way they are. Often their behaviours and choices can feel quite random which can leave parents feeling very frustrated, upset and confused. This in turn often leads to more stressful mealtimes which results in the children even eating even less.

By reading our information and watching the videos we hope that you will begin to see patterns which help explain what you are experiencing at home. Once their eating is understood, their choices often make a lot more sense.

Once we understand ‘why’ we can then put in place strategies to help support them to make different choices and expand their food choices.

We understand that changing behaviours and developing new skills often takes a very long time and this can be even more difficult in children with a diagnosis of autism. It is important to be consistent in your approach as it is very unlikely that you will see any significant change in a few days/ weeks.
