SEND Network: Sensory Food Challenges and Restrictive Eaters with Catherine Jeans
Virtual Event
Stronger Practice Hub Event
This session takes a deeper look at restrictive eating, exploring how sensory sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, oral health and digestive difficulties can all play a role in a child's relationship with food. It offers practical strategies for broadening diets, from calming the nervous system and sensory education to graduated exposure and food-chaining, alongside honest discussion about approaches like hiding nutrients in food. The session also considers how to communicate effectively with families to ensure a consistent and supportive approach at home and in the setting.
