How a sensory approach to exploring food can help children with SEND

I’m Dr Lucy Cooke and I am research psychologist specialising in children’s eating behaviour and expert advisor on the non-profit kids game Teach Your Monster: Adventurous Eating. In this blog for London Mums magazine, I’ll explain how a sensory approach to exploring food can help children with SEND. For children with SEND, eating and feeding difficulties are common.
