Hey Chicago, Here We Come! Food Chaining and Get Permission Approach

We would love to see you at our conference in Chicago on May 13 and 14, 2011. Laura and I will be joined not only by the wonderful Marsha Dunn Klein, OT extraordinaire, but we are also going to have a special evening with Mark Fishbein, MD, pediatric gastroenterologist at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL. Dr Fishbein will present a lecture on GI disorders and feeding. He will also have a question-answer session with the audience. The course will focus on using Food Chaining and Get Permission approaches together in treatment. PreChaining and treatment for premature infants throughout the first year of life will also be discussed. Great course, great information, wonderful location with great shopping. Hope to see you there!

This advanced course will combine the best of two treatment approaches that focus on dealing with feeding aversion, food refusal, and understanding aversive behaviors. The “Get Permission” approach builds a foundation of trust in the feeding relationship and supports children who have sensory mealtime challenges to eat with enjoyment and confidence. Food Chaining© programs emphasize multidisciplinary evaluation and non-threatening, child- centered intervention based on analysis of the child’s food preferences. The work- shop is filled with practical mealtime and treatment suggestions. DVD cases will be used throughout the course to maximize the learning outcomes. Mark Fishbein, MD, will present “Feeding Disorders in Infants and Children: A Peds GI Approach”.
