Addressing the feeding and dietary issues of children on the autism spectrum by running a "Food is Fun" week / Joanna GILL in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 11-1 (May 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 11-1 (May 2010) . - p.36-44 Titre : Addressing the feeding and dietary issues of children on the autism spectrum by running a "Food is Fun" week Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joanna GILL, Auteur ; Maria GLEESON, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.36-44 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The authors are both Speech and Language Therapists who work in a special school for children with autism and learning difficulties in Ireland. In this paper, they describe the work they did with eight children to extend the range of foods they tolerated or ate and to encourage them to eat independently. They ran a five-day ‘Food s Fun’ week at the children’s school during the summer holiday and engaged in play and sensory activities involving food, based on McCurtin’s work (2007). On the face of it one might question the likely efficacy of having an intensive focus on an area which children find difficult. Successes were reported for each child in terms of the goals that their parents and the therapists set together, some making more progress than others. The Editors of the GAP Journal would be very interested in receiving more papers on this topic as eating difficulties challenge parents and professionals alike.
