New therapy team aims to help picky eaters with developmental disorders
NCT ID NCT07431671
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a team of a psychologist, speech therapist, and motor therapist can help children aged 2-7 with neurodevelopmental disorders eat more foods and have fewer mealtime struggles. 24 children will be split into two groups: one gets the team therapy, the other does not. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and worth studying further.
