[quote=Anonymous]WE had huge issues after adopting our SN son from Russia at 12 months. We used Kennedy Krieger outpatient and it was terrific. Some have said they abhor it because they do use forced feeding techniques -- safely of course. But my child had psychological problems as well since it appears the orphanage forced him to eat solids too early and before he could handle them and so he had a huge fear complex of choking associated with likely real choking. But personally that worked well for us once we established he was physically able to handle the solid foods and it was a matter of getting him trained up to realize he could eat solid foods and. Had the sweetest young OT showing me how to hold his jaw and encourage the manipulation of the soft food. He LOVED her and it was a godsend to us and our daycare at the time. [/quote]
