Hi Lori,

Carolyn suggested I email you.

My 2 year old has sensory issues and I need information on food therapy.

She is very picky with textures and does not eat much at all. She loves

bread, crackers, salty food......she just started accepting oatmeal and

corn...she didn't used to like those textures. She wont eat any meat...just

chews it, then spits it out. She only weighs 20 pounds and just turned 2.

I don't know if you saw my previous post, titled New Here, but it describes

her problems with talking and I was recently told she may have apraxia of

speech. She has been working with a speech therapist since Sept. 01 and her

words have gone from 2 to 17 (however not used on a daily basis, and not when

cued to say them, more spontaneous).

Any help or information you could give me would be much appreciated. I would

love to wake up her little mouth and have her eating and saying more words!

Thanks!
