Clinicians always are in need of reference materials to supplement their therapy and answer questions from parents. This 600-page reference binder was written in response to requests from clinicians for a resource of handouts for parents. Authors Marsha Dunn Klein, M. Ed., OTR/I, and Tracy A. Delaney, Ph.D., RD, felt that combining information on the "what to eat" with the "how to eat" would provide a novel integration of pediatric therapies and nutrition. The binder is divided into ten sections containing illustrated, reproducible handouts with information on:

Nutrition Guidelines

Breast- and Bottle Feeding

Introducing Foods from a Spoon

Independent Feeding

Cup and Straw Drinking

Oral-Motor Treatment Strategies

Nutrition Treatment Strategies

Conditions Affecting Feeding and Nutrition

Tube Feedings

Family Mealtime Interactions and Communications A cross-reference of related handouts directs the therapist to other pages that might be helpful. Parents will find information on techniques, troubleshooting, behavior modification, sources of additional information, addresses of national organizations and suppliers of adapted equipment, and recipes for specific nutritional needs. Clinicians can individualize the notes to each client in the space provided on each handout.
