Lesson Outline
Santino was greeted in his classroom, while he was finishing his reading session with his previous teacher. I had asked his teacher not to provide his supplement drink right before our session therefore she reported when he requested his drink, he was redirected until our session. He transitioned well to the table. Both mango and blueberry yogurts were offered and he was given a choice - Santino chose blueberry. Throughout the session he consumed ~3/4 jar of oui yogurt. He accepted spoonfuls from me as well as self fed when cued to do so. There was no independent initiation of eating however he did self feed when prompted to do so. We started working on wiping the bottom of the spoon on the jar to avoid yogurt falling on him each spoonful. He was receptive. He continues to take very small bites with his upper lip, making it to be a longer meal time however functional. Retrograde flow of food back into his mouth (after eating) is noticeable and may be reflux which can negatively effect feeding. When water bottle (that was sent from home) was presented, Santino immediately pushed it away with refusal. With a model, he willingly "gave high five" to the bottle and kissed the water bottle top and eventually opened for very small single sips x5. With gummies (sent from home), there was immediate refusal and pushing away. He did place them on a plate with his fingers given a model. Eye contact to the food was fleeting and minimal. When asked to name the colors, he did so with hesitation. HE placed them in the garbage can without looking at them. Aversion was evident with this food. We will start to eat his preferred foods in new environments next week.
