General information, social story and sorting activity useful suggested video. As I have discussed in earlier posts, the turning point for us re-introducing food therapy type practices is certainly that our son is ready. We feel this is true because he is showing an increased understanding of why different foods (protein for example) are important for his health. Our approach is very much about empowering Badger. We want him to be able to make healthy choices as he grows as a part of increasing independence and maintaining good health. These resources are what we have used this week as an introduction to nutritional education. They've proven useful as Badger has eaten a number of foods that were previously off limits. OK so they were small amounts but it is a success and a foundation from which to grow. Don't forget to check the symbols page for food items you may want to use in these discussions with your kiddo. :)
This is a really great video for children on understanding the food groups. As we said, it's all about empowering those on the spectrum. And knowledge is power.
