Dr. Smile strongly believes in humility and listening to parents. She often asks them to keep a food diary or mealtime videos. Once no medical or physiological reason is determined for the food issues, professionals like Kerry’s Place Autism Services’ Clinical Supervisor, Ailya Jessa, complete an assessment and intervention plan. They identify patterns in food preferences, evaluate mealtime behaviours, and collaborate with caregivers and multi-disciplinary teams to select goals. Then, they design an individualized treatment plan.
