When Rachael discussed the options with Brian’s
family, she presented an overview of what she determined
from the literature. To accomplish the goal of Brian eating
specific foods by his second birthday, Rachael and his
parents determined they would begin a treatment plan
that included oral-motor and sensory components.
Rachael discussed the need for reinforcement and ongoing
practice at home. Brian’s parents agreed that this would be
important as well. They also agreed that he would
continue occupational therapy as an additional sensory
intervention. Rachael assured them that the SLP and
occupational therapist would communicate to ensure the
goals for Brian were aligned. At the end of the quest to
find the best treatment options for Brian, Rachael and
Brian’s family were confident that they had made the most
informed decision possible.
