Eating with EASE Academy

🍽️ Eating with EASE Academy 🍽️ is an online parent education and support program for families of children with picky eating, ARFID, sensory food aversions, limited diets, and other feeding challenges.

Through short, practical lessons, parents learn how to recognize what may be underneath their child’s eating difficulties, identify the support their child needs, reduce mealtime stress, and respond with greater confidence when challenges arise. EASE focuses on the whole child—not simply the number of foods they eat. Parents learn how sensory processing, regulation, anxiety, development, feeding skills, past experiences, and the mealtime environment can affect a child’s ability to eat. The program includes practical tools, resources, community support, and live guidance from Brenda Chilstrom, OTR/L, an award-winning pediatric occupational therapist and feeding specialist with more than 30 years of experience. Eating with EASE Academy may be used alongside feeding therapy or as a stand-alone parent education program and is available to families throughout Florida.
