Keith Williams, Richard M Foxx
A child's incessant screaming,spitting and food throwing during mealtime are enough to frustrate any parent or caregiver! Continous resistance to eating not only leads to malnourishment, but physical and intellectual development become additional concerns. Invariably, the underlying reasons for refusing to eat will differ from child to child, so the focus should be on improving or resolving the eating problem.
This is a two-part book written for caregivers and professionals who work with children with feeding problems. It presents behavioral interventions and approaches on solving a child's resistance to eating. Part One was specifically written for teachers, parents and caregivers with no prior professional experience or training on feeding problems. Part Two was written for professionals, providing detailed information on how to apply behavioral assessment and developing individualised interventions based on a child's eating behaviours.
The behavioural interventions and procedures presente4d in book can also be integrated into oral motor or dysphagia therapy. Includes refrences and brief descriptions.
