As feeding therapists, we feel the pressure sometimes to SHOW change can happen or to MEET that specific goal. BUT, the true power is in carryover! Remember, we only see these kids for 1, to maybe 2, hours a week. Think about all the feeding experiences they are having outside of therapy!

Parents are with their children 24/7. We can empower THEM with strategies that work within their daily routine, and that will create lasting change.

The Get Permission Institute is the original home of the concept of mealtime peace!

The responsive, sensitive, and supportive approach to feeding therapy, Get Permission strategies lovingly support children and their families. The Get Permission Approach will enable you to view children and families holistically and collaborate with caregivers to create positive change at mealtimes. The approach was developed by Marsha Dunn Klein, OTR/L, and is based on solid principles of development, decades of research, and almost 54 years of clinical experience.

Homemade Blended Formula: Then and Now is available On Demand!

We'll trace the remarkable journey of blended tube feeding—beginning with determined parents in the early 2000s who pioneered homemade blends, leading to today's expanded options including commercial food-based formulas. Today, parents and clinicians have more options to nourish tube fed children (and adults) well. Our goal is to share this history while increasing your confidence in using real food approaches for tube-fed individuals.
