ABOUT THE PICKY EATERS GROUP

Picky Eaters Group will provide caregivers with practical feeding

involved in the mealtime routine. Caregivers will also learn

strategies to select and prepare foods for your child, so they are

more likely to give it a try.

Each family will be asked to complete a feeding history

questionnaire prior to the start of the group and identify at least 3

foods you would like your child to learn to eat.

Feeding Treatment

The therapists will work with the child and the family once a week

The goal of the treatment is to target individual goals of the child

and assist caregivers in creating a successful home program.

Individual recommendations will be provided at the end of this
