This week, we continue to troubleshoot refusals at mealtime. After our review of the communication strategies needed with daily care, we explore how to gain cooperation at mealtime, using the communication strategies. As time permits, we will discuss safety with food preparation and precautions for our loved ones with swallowing difficulty.
