Creating Successful Mealtimes

February 20 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Food is an essential part of living and socialising; it forms the building blocks of the human body and it helps us to form meaningful connections through the enjoyment of a shared meal. For people with Autism, having diet variety for adequate nutrition can be a challenge for many reasons and taking part in mealtime experiences with others may affected. Come and join our TASTEE team* to learn about both the “why” behind mealtime challenges for children with Autism and “what” you can start to do about them. 

In this webinar we will explore:

  • Typical eating development
  • Mealtime challenges and Autism 
  • Common myths surrounding mealtimes 
  • Autism specific mealtime strategies and tips

Please note. More complex medical conditions such as swallowing disorders, allergies, and G-I conditions will not be covered in this session.

*TASTEE team—The Autism Specific Team of Everything to do with Eating (TASTEE) is our Specialist Mealtime Therapy team of Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists who provide assessment and intervention to children and adults.
