In terms  of sensory integration issues, does the OT work with your child's overall body at all with such things as deep compression in rolling up in different fabrics, "brushing" with a particular kind of brush, jumping in a sensory box of balls etc.  Have you also ever been encouraged at all to use a soft brush in terms of any special oral mouth stimuli on gums, tongue, inner cheek to help desensitize the oral motor cavity?

I know one of my nephews had very limited eating choices until peer pressure sort of hit in an suddenly he liked pizza etc., and now as a young adult he is  quite "a foodie" and can order with a very refined taste, but a lot of it was definitely the social aspect of eating that came with peers as he got older and moved out beyond just the family circle.  In one sense, I do wonder if there is ever "a peer group modeling" program of just letting little kids be together say for play time which would just overlap into eating time when one could sort of just pick up what is on a table to see if there might not be "an inquiring eye" or some tasting done when not at the family table with Mom and Dad "watching and counting the bites or sips.
