When Eating Looks Different: A parent webinar on supporting neurodivergent children with feeding

Описание: Join us for a one-hour, parent-focused webinar with guest speakers Lucy Upton, Specialist Paediatric Dietitian, and Lucy Bates, Specialist Occupational Therapist.

Mealtimes can look and feel very different for neurodivergent children, and it’s not always easy to know how to navigate them. In this session, our guest speakers from The Feeding Trust will share their expertise to help you better understand your child’s needs and how to navigate eating differences in neurodivergent children.

The webinar covers:

An overview of why eating can look different in neurodivergent children.
Practical first steps of feeding support you can try at home, guided by The Feeding Trust's Eating as Learning Framework.
An opportunity to have your questions answered by experienced feeding specialists.
