Food Tolerance Decision Making

Over the years, we have seen a significant increase in the number of children suffering from food intolerances, food sensitivities, and food allergies. This Advanced Workshop will explain the differences between these different types of food problems and how they impact a child’s eating. An overview of the assessment techniques typically used by the medical field will be given, along with appropriate ways that a Feeding Therapist can support the medical team through the process of identifying foods that may be problematic for a child. Strategies that an SOS Feeding Therapist could use during feeding treatment to help these children will be outlined.
