Selective Eating Support
Selective Eating Support
The East London Foundation Trust NHS Specialist Children’s and Young People’s Services (ELFT NHS SCYPS) are very excited to welcome you to our Selective Eating support web page!
This page has been created by the Speech and Language Therapy, Dietetics and Occupational Therapy teams from ELFT NHS SCYPS.
If your child is presenting with persistent ‘fussy eating’ behaviours, a restricted diet or a small range of ‘safe’ foods and/or sensory feeding behaviours, your child or young person may benefit from daily use of the strategies below.
This page is for parents of children and young people (CYP) who are selective with food, have a restricted diet of 'safe' food and/or present with a range of sensory feeding behaviours which impact the range of food that they eat. The website is also aimed at school and nursery staff who work with these CYP as the strategies can be easily applied in educational settings. The strategies are applicable for children of all ages.
Please select the age of your child below to access fun and creative resources such as information sheets/handouts, videos and advice to try at home or at nursery or school with your child.
