Reframing ‘picky’ eating, autism & ADHD

Dietitian Connection Podcast

What if we reframed ‘problematic’ and ‘picky’ eating to ‘eating differences’? After all, we all have different preferences, likes and dislikes. In this thought-provoking conversation, paediatric clinical dietitian, Maddie Todd, uses practical experiences to explore the language around mealtimes, ADHD and autism. She also examines how sensory processing differences affect food preferences, mealtime behaviours and nutritional intake in children and adolescents, and shares up-to-date assessment and management strategies so you can help your clients do the best eating they can.
