Feeding and Nutrition for the Child With Special Needs: Handouts for Parents illustrated edition Edition
byTherapy Skill illustrated edition edition)
Editorial Review
Clinicians always are in need of reference materials to supplement their therapy and answer questions from parents. This 600-page reference binder was written in response to requests from clinicians for a resource of handouts for parents. Authors Marsha Dunn Klein, M. Ed., OTR/I, and Tracy A. Delaney, Ph.D., RD, felt that combining information on the "what to eat" with the "how to eat" would provide a novel integration of pediatric therapies and nutrition. The binder is divided into ten sections containing illustrated, reproducible handouts with information on:
Nutrition Guidelines
Breast- and Bottle Feeding
Introducing Foods from a Spoon
Independent Feeding
Cup and Straw Drinking
Oral-Motor Treatment Strategies
Nutrition Treatment Strategies
Conditions Affecting Feeding and Nutrition
Tube Feedings
Family Mealtime Interactions and Communications A cross-reference of related handouts directs the therapist to other pages that might be helpful. Parents will find information on techniques, troubleshooting, behavior modification, sources of additional information, addresses of national organizations and suppliers of adapted equipment, and recipes for specific nutritional needs. Clinicians can individualize the notes to each client in the space provided on each handout.
