 The
Get
Permission Trust Approach to Mealtimes and Sensory Treatment:
“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.
