In this episode, they walk through three complex cases involving children with layered challenges, including trauma histories, ARFID, and rare medical diagnoses. Each story highlights the messy, nonlinear nature of feeding therapy and the importance of flexible, family-centered care.
You’ll hear how clinical reasoning, caregiver collaboration, and a bit of trial and error helped guide each child’s progress. But the focus isn’t just on the kids. Michelle and Erin also explore how the entire family system shapes therapy outcomes and mealtime trust.
If you love practical insights and honest conversations about what really happens in feeding therapy, this episode is for you.
