This article is Part 2 of a discussion about sensory issues that interfere with eating in some children. Feeding a child who has sensory issues, whether neurological or experienced based, is one of the most challenging problems for families and the health care providers who work with them. Part 1 of this article (January/February 2008 NUTRITION FOCUS) described typical feeding progression, how sensory issues may interfere with this progression, types of sensory feeding issues and assessment. In Part 2 we continue the discussion with an emphasis on interventions and treatment options with a distinction between what works for the different types of sensory issues. Two case studies illustrate the complexity and challenge of sensory feeding issues and how progress can be made.
