This involves analyzing the child's oral movement patterns as well as his ability to register and regulate sensory information.This book provides a structured oral movement and feeding program that will help children work through aversion to food textures, limited diet, and difficulty accepting food utensils. Parents, caretakers, and teachers are important participants in the child's treatment program.
