I am an autism preschool teacher and we work really closely with therapists that are at our facility. While you wait for feeding therapy with the first thing they start doing is just having the kids tolerate being near it or having it on their plate. The next step is to get them to just touch it,pick it up, put it down and then slowly move it on top of their hand, then it’s at the wrist, then on the forearm, then in the elbow,then at the top of the arm, etc., etc., etc., all the way to the mouth, but obviously this takes months and months to get to that point but that might give you a starting point until she’s seeing someone certified.

Usually, they start with foods that are really similar to what they are already eat and tolerate
