In order to obtain an understanding of your child's feeding repertoire, we request that you complete the following form. Please note that after you submit this form, you will need to fill out a seperate form for logging three days worth of meal and snack information for your child, which can be found at the following link: Three-Day Food Record. It also should have been emailed to you in the email that contained this questionnaire.
We will need you to bring each of the following foods with you so that they can be used during the feeding portion of your child's evaluation. (Note: only one food item in each category is necessary.)
- Pureed food such as applesauce, fruit sauce, yogurt with chunks, etc.
- Chunks of food in sauce such as pasta in sauce, soup, etc.
- Finger foods: any small foods such as crackers, cereals, granola, etc.
- Meltable hard solids: able to melt in mouth with minimal saliva and pressure such as graham crackers, saltines, goldfish, etc.
- Soft cubes: fruits, bananas, peas, etc.
- Soft mechanicals: require minimal pressure to chew such as cheese small pastas, lunch meats, etc.
- Hard mechanicals: biting and chewing is required such as pretzels, cookies, etc.
In addition, please bring in a preferred food item that your child enjoys eating along with a drink.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you!
