Hi and welcome to What Works Wednesdays where we share a success story from one of our clinical cases. All names have been changed to preserve the privacy of the child and family.

Today’s post is slightly different from previous posts because it was written (and illustrated) by Jack’s 8-year-old sister. Please note that Jack and his mother participated in feeding therapy for a total of 5 days.
