The Get Permission Institute is the original home for Marsha Dunn Klein’s Get Permission Approach—a responsive, sensitive, and evidence-based approach to supporting children with feeding challenges.

WHAT WE KNOW

Feeding Challenges Aren't Simple Solves

From picky eaters to weaning from feeding tubes, pediatric feeding therapy demands careful attention to a spectrum of complex factors across motivation, nutrition, sensory processing, and family dynamics.

Occupational Therapists (OT), Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP), Registered Dieticians (RD), & other feeding professionals need more than tactics and checklists. We need a comprehensive, dynamic, evidence-based framework that leads to true mealtime success.
