Workshop Description: In this workshop parents will be provided with research based evidence strategies to help them deal with picky eating and successfully introduce their kids to new foods. In addition, participants will learn the developmental, sensory/motor, and nutritional aspects behind their children’s reluctance to try new foods. Hands-on activities, case examples, and resources are provided to accommodate all types of learners. Participants will walk away with strategies that can be implemented right away to improve their child’s long-lasting relationship with food and eating.
Karen Rodgers is a licensed, certified speech language pathologist who has been practicing since 2004. She has solely worked with the pediatric population and has served in private practice, schools and medical settings. Karen has successfully weaned kids from feeding tubes both personally with her own boys and professionally with medically fragile children. She has training with ABA, Oral Motor Placement and SOS feeding therapy. Karen acknowledges the amount of support and training families need to provide their children with the fundamental tools for successful, positive and functional feeding skills. She can also empathize with the stress of seeing your child with a feeding tube and/or feeding difficulty. Her blog, Goodfitfam, was inspired by the combination of her professional training and experiences and the desire to empower parents to foster positive food relationships for their families.
