Just Take a Bite: Easy, Effective Answers to Food Aversions and Eating Challenges by Lori Ernsperger, Ph.D. and Tania Stegen-Hanson, OTR/L

Easy, effective answers to food aversions and eating challenges in Autism Spectrum Disorder! This book is new!

Is your child a picky eater, or a full-fledged resistant eater? Does he or she eat only 3-20 foods, refusing all others, eat from only one food group, or gag, tantrum, or become anxious if you introduce new foods? If so, you have a resistant eater. Learn the possible causes, when you need professional help, and how to deal with the behavior at home. Learn why “don’t play with your food” and “clean your plate”―along with many other old saws―are just plain wrong. And who said you have to eat dessert last? Get ready to have some stereotypes shattered!

Helpful chapters include:

Who Are Resistant eaters?
Oral-Motor Development
Environmental and Behavioral Factors Contributing to Problems with Eating
Designing and Implementing a Comprehensive Treatment Plan
Stages of Sensory Development for Eating
A Recipe for Success
