Get Permission

An Approach to Mealtimes and Feeding Treatments

Presenter: Marsha Dunn Klein, MEd, OTR/L 

"Get Permission" is an approach to mealtimes and feeding treatment, which is based on the foundation of trust in a feeding relationship. It supports children who have sensory mealtime challenges in moving forward with mealtime goals with trust, enjoyment and confidence. It follows the child's lead with creative and sensitive mealtime treatment strategies. 

This workshop is relationship based and focuses on children who have complicated sensory challenges including those who are very worried about the sensory aspects of feeding, children who are inexperienced or who have had scary oral sensory experiences, who are fed by tube, have visual impairments or are on the autism spectrum. It supports an approach of getting oral sensory permission as a foundation to oral motor treatment. The workshop is filled with practical mealtime and treatment suggestions.
