Does your autistic child or student have a very limited diet?  Maybe they eat 3 or 4 foods and that’s it?  Join me today as I talk to Brittyn Coleman, the Autism Dietitian all about selective eaters and how we can best support them at home and in the school setting.  You are going to love hearing what led Brittyn on this path to helping parents of neurodivergent children when it comes to nutrition. 

Topics Discussed:

Picky eaters vs selective eaters language

What does the term “safe foods” mean

Why you should say “just take a bite”

What is ARFID?

Tips to help selective eaters at home and school
