In this episode, Erin Forward, MSP, CCC-SLP, CLC from the First Bite podcast joins the show to share what she's learned about incorporating neurodiversity and trauma-informed practices into feeding therapy. We discuss the importance of using an affirming lens in feeding therapy, keeping the very real concerns of caregivers in mind while honoring the bodily autonomy of our patients, and why systematic approaches to feeding therapy may not be best practice. This episode is full of wisdom that I know you'll enjoy!
