I am now using the oral motor protocol to assessment and motor function and
sensory responses. And I also use a form to invite parent to write down what the
child like (accept/like/crave) and dislike (dislike/ refuse) in vegetables,
meat, fruit, snacks, and others.
I also use Sensory Profile and Sensory Integration clinical observation test to
assess overall sensory processing function towards different stimulation.
Could anyone give me some sugguests about what else could be used for assessing
picky eater? Is there a scale for assessing oral or orofacial hypersensitivity ?
For intervention, I am now using Wilbarger protocol and gum massage (with/
without food in pureer format). Systematic approch in increasing food texture
and food taste varities. Texture, Taste, Amount, change just 1 variables at a
time.
What else intervention strategies could be used ? Could anyone share their
approaches in handling picky eater ?
