What Past Students Have To Say:

  • "The emphasis on empathy and understanding for the children/people that were struggling to eat or eat a variety of foods, and the impact this had on the families, was so insightful. I loved the strategies that were given and discussed. I think this is a great way for therapists to be introduced to feeding therapy.”
    Mia H., SLP

  • "I've been a pediatric COTA/L for nearly 12 years and this is one of the best continuing education courses I've taken. It helped me reframe my view of feeding problems, especially previously viewing issues through a behavior lens. The hand outs are very helpful and parent friendly. I'm so thankful for this course and looking forward to educating my parents on The Get Permission Approach."-Jackalyn H., COTA

  • “This course was absolutely brilliant. Marsha- your enthusiasm is contagious, you have given me so much inspiration and I can see how to manage these anxious eaters in a new light."
