Sarah
Brilliant course
I have just completed the feeding difficulties course, I am an OT and SI trained practitioner. I work with children with ASD and often meet young people with feeding difficulties. I found this course excellent, really informative! The structure of the course was well thought out and the content shared was really useful with both theoretical and practical advise covered. I have already started to share some of the tips and strategies with families I work with and am pleased I have more knowledge to be able to do so. Thanks so much for putting this training together, I will be recommending this training to many families and colleagues I work with!

Supporting Individuals with Feeding Difficulties
22 Dec 2021 - Thank you for a very comprehensive and informative course. I work with Adults with LD and Autism. I was wondering if it's possible to have a webinar / information in regarding the strengths and barriers working with Adults who have feeding difficulties. Many thanks SIE REPLY - Hi Liz, thank you for your review. We have a range of other webinars and are frequently introducing new topics. You can see a full list on our website, www.sensoryintegrationeducation.com

Great overview of working with individuals who have feeding difficulties
The course gave a great overview of how to assess individuals who present with eating difficulties by looking at the holistic picture of their strengths, challenges and developmental stages. Grest strategy ideas and ways of working with wider MDT. Idea of whol;e school approach is very important

Relevant title
Very informative course, knowledgeable speakers with lots of practical suggestions. future webinars on strategies and practical ideas would be helpful, esp focusing on introducing new foods. Advice on drinking would also be beneficial, how to move forward from the bottle and progress onto a cup.

Review on course on feeding
Thank you for the training. There was so much information but it reinforced what I learned in the SI training. The examples, reflection and discussions were invaluable and it just put everything into perspective. My only suggestion is that some cultures do not see playing with food acceptable. In such case, what other activities can be used to make food more appealing to a child with feeding problems?
Claire
Excellent Training
This course was really informative and well put together both in terms of the way it was presented in bite size chunks but also the way they talked through the different areas of feeding issues. I am keen now to go away and put my new knowledge and skills into practice and see where I potentially need more training or supervision. I think a bit more around working with other professionals and how to find who else is working on feeding difficulties locally would be really helpful. Thank you REPLY TO CUSTOMER - Hi Claire, thank you for the great feedback, we're pleased you found the course useful. You might find our Facebook page and Forum good places to network with other professionals, both of which can be accessed from our website, here: www.sensoryintegrationeducation.com Kind regards, SIE Support
