Feeding Therapy Activity at Home.
Mealtimes during holidays can be particularly stressful for individuals with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD). One way to support individuals is by prioritizing learner autonomy, particularly in food-related decisions. Allowing learners to choose what they want on their plate can promote comfortability and safety.
For younger learners, incorporating an art-based activity—such as drawing what they would like on their plate—can be especially beneficial. This approach helps increase comfort and confidence heading into mealtime, reinforces that their autonomous choices are valued, and supports positive relationships with family members and caregivers during holiday gatherings.
Example: My Holiday Plate

The words we choose shape the spaces we create. Using inclusive holiday language makes room for all traditions, all identities, and all kinds of joy!❄️☺️

Transcription: Inclusive Holiday Language! There are more holidays in December than just Christmas! Some families do not celebrate any holiday this time of year. Here are some of the December Holidays: December 8th: Bodhi Day, December 14th-22nd- Hanukkah, December 16th-24th- Las Posadas, December 21st- Yule, December 25th- Christmas, December 26th- January 1st- Kwanzaa, December 30th- Asarah B’Tevet, December 31st- Omisoka. What can you say instead? Instead of this, say this. Do you celebrate Christmas? —> Are you taking time off this winter? Do you have a Christmas tree? —> Does your family have any traditions or do anything special this time of year? Christmas break —> December break, Winter break, End of year break
