Are you facing the problem of supporting someone with eating challenges?

Is this a person who…
is a picky eater
is a problem eater
is a fussy eater
is a compulsive overeater
has a selective eating disorder
has a restricted diet as many with autism do
is on a special diet (ie. gluten free, casein free, etc)
is in a supported living situation
is a person with disabilities ie. non-verbal, communication disorder
is a person needing support to ensure healthy nutrition and a healthy diet plan
stroke victims, persons with brain injury

Then your solution may be The Eating GameTM!

Created to support people with a broad range of eating challenges, The Eating GameTM is a resource filled with planning tools, food pictures and suggestions for use that support and encourage people in making optimal, healthy food choices.

The Eating GameTM is also being used around the globe, not just by individuals and families but by Occupational Therapists, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Speech Therapists, Nutritionists, Early Interventionists, schools, preschools/daycares, Public Health, and Group Homes.

While The Eating GameTM was initially developed to address the nutritional challenges faced by many children with Autism, it is also being used by many others who need support to make healthy food choices: picky eaters, those on selective or restricted diets, adults in group homes or assisted living situations who are striving to be more independent, those with communication challenges who benefit from visual supports, families wanting to develop healthy diets, schools/preschools teaching about good nutrition and those with compulsive eating disorders obsessed with eating.

Using pictures and Daily Planning Sheets, you can be ensured of having lots of choice from a wide variety of healthy foods.

No reading ability is required as pictures are matched using a simple system of color coding. And new foods can be added at any time! Included are suggestions for how to use, modify and extend the use of the book/kit to maximize its effectiveness.
