Are you a parent carer in North Somerset? Do you wish to learn more about how autism can affect your child’s eating, please join us!

Join us for an informative session looking at strategies and tips for managing eating challenges in individuals with autism.

Food and eating can be a huge issue for autistic people with sensory issues and anxiety can lead to a person having a very restricted diet.

Here we'll learn all about autism and food sensitivities and talk through your needs.

Covering:

• Sensory sensitivities and their role in eating

• Anxiety’s role in eating

• ARFID

• Strategies that work to help your child
