Immersive Family Program for Picky* or Selective Eating
*Sometimes referred to as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
What's New? GROUPS!
Our new model consists of 4 families attending as a GROUP for the 5-day program. Dr. Zucker believes there is great benefit to the group model. Both child and parents will have one-on-one sessions
with a therapist as well as one family session. In addition, Dr. Zucker will give an educational talk
two or three mornings with parents and children in attendance. Finally, there will be multiple ‘group sessions’ with children and parents meeting as separate groups with a therapist.
Families will be invited based on three factors:
-
Placement on wait list. The wait list has been created by order of
first contact with our center and expressing interest in the program.
Some families have been waiting since 2012.
-
Parents who have attended our Parent Weekend Workshop receive
priority on the wait list.
-
Age of child. It is important that children in the same age group are seen
together. So we may need to jump around a little on the wait list for this.
