Supporting Your Young Person with Food & Eating: via The Community Dixon

An online, Zoom webinar hosted by The Dixon Community

June 19th 6.30 – 8.30 PM GMT

Webinar Description:

Supporting Your Young Person with Food & Eating: ‘Eat this…eat during these hours…eat these kinds of foods…they should be eating here…definitely don’t let them eat like that…’ There is so much information and social media influence telling us how we and our kids should be eating. But what really are the priorities here? How can the priorities be different for Autistic and Neurodivergent young people? How does my decision making in this moment affect the next food opportunity for this young person?

This webinar will aim to clarify common neurodivergent traits that impact food and eating choices so that you can support your young person’s eating in a way that validates their needs. Our foundations of care will be to help remove anxiety and power struggles associated with eating and meal times in order to improve your and your young person’s mental health. This way we can increase your young person’s sense of trust around food and begin building long-term self-care skills.
