Beyond Picky Eating-Real Strategies for Hyper-Selective Eaters ecourse

Course overview

"Beyond Picky Eating" is a clinically grounded course designed for speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists working with children and teens who present with hyper-selective eating patterns. While many feeding challenges are labeled as "picky eating," this course goes deeper-guiding clinicians to identify and treat the root causes of selective eating, including anxiety, sensory sensitivities, rigidity, and learned feeding patterns. Participants will learn how to move beyond surface-level strategies and develop a more nuanced clinical lens. The course will explore how caregiver accommodations, often well-intentioned, can unintentionally maintain feeding difficulties-and how to shift these patterns in a supportive, practical way. Through real-world case examples, clinicians will see how to assess, conceptualize, and intervene with hyper-selective eaters across a range of presentations. Emphasis is placed on building sustainable, home-based change through caregiver coaching, low-pressure exposure, and individualized intervention planning. Clinicians will leave with practical tools, scripts, and frameworks to confidently support families, reduce mealtime stress, and expand a child's dietary variety. A perfect course for clinicians ready to dive deeper into the world of picky eating.
