After 26 years of working with families, I have learned that many children with speech, developmental, and communication challenges are not just picky eaters, they may also be missing important nutritional building blocks day after day.
Parents are often doing everything they can, therapy, home practice, special diets, supplements, and still wondering if they are missing something basic. Sometimes they are.
When a child eats a very limited range of foods, or when a diet becomes more restrictive, it can get much harder to consistently cover the essentials. And today it is not only about getting nutrients in, it is also about trying to avoid unnecessary contaminants in the food supply.
That is why I put together this simple one page guide covering fish oils, nutrient gaps, restrictive diets, clean food, and practical tips for picky eaters.
