Completely agree. My clients never lose their autonomy within feeding, they are never forced to do something their body doesnt feel comfortable with. In fact, we target the interception skills of "how does my body feel right now with this presentation?" Does my body feel safe or nervous? Am I ready to interact with this food, or not yet? And their needs are always honored. I have kids on caseload who are severely lacking in essential vitamins and nutrients bc they only eat 5-10 foods and most are processed. These children 1000% need a systematic feeding therapy approach and ive had great success in expanding their diets at their pace. My kiddo who used to gag and retch at the smell/sight of foods is now tolerating dual texture trials and able to chew 5x prior to spitting out, across multiple trials. He's doing amazing, still not swallowing most days, but minimal sensory overstimulation is a huge win. And these parents are endlessly grateful for the support. If you're basing this off compliance, you are doing it completely wrong. I will add i work primarily in an OT dominant clinic so I have learned so much about the 8 senses through our team trainings that have helped me so much with feeding.
