[quote=Anonymous]PP (10/10/12 16:01)-the expert for feeding at Children's is Dr. Chatoor.  She is a pioneer in Sensory Food Aversion and Infantile Anorexia. We have been meeting  with her for over 6 months now, and while she has given us a much greater understanding of what our son is going through, the interventions she has suggested have only had a minimal affect. She is very behavioral based (though not as severe as feeding the clinic at Kennedy Kregger), and admittedly was unable to address his sensory/trust issues with eating.  Her program use to have an OT that worked with them, but has since left to started her own private practice in Virginia.  Her name is  Randi Simenson.  I live in MoCo so we didn't go to her, but instead followed up her her other recommendation in Kensington Maryland ITS services.  The whole center is dedicated to Sensory integration.  Ann Reyolds is their eating/speech therapist.  FYI: try are super disorganized and you feel like your signing your life away with all of the paper work they make you fill out BUT  she is the first person we have met seems to what she doing.  I have not had this experience with anyone else.

Throughout this process we had looked into Children's OT and speech departments since they actually take insurance unlike ALL of the private facilities we've  looked into.  We were on there waiting list for a year in both departments and by the time our case was being considered we founds the do not do any sensory integration.

Sorry if this was long winded.  I hope this was helpful. Good luck![/quote]
