Any parent of a child with autism, Asperger's, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or another developmental disability knows that special-needs kids are often fussy eaters.  What's worse, these parents have often been told to avoid feeding their kids common ingredients such as gluten and casein- no small feat when you're trying to provide essential nutrients every child needs.  

Answers are at hand.  The result of years of research and clinical work with families and kids, registered dietitian Judy Converse's clear and practical guide offers advice for transforming your child's food into part of the solution instead of part of the problem. 

This book includes:

• Advice for assembling a team of qualified and supportive experts
• Information on testing and nutritional diagnosis
• Simple suggestings that can be customized to suit your child's needs
• Suggestions for supplements to consider
• Sample recipes and menu plans
• Strategies and tips for staying on track at restaurants, holiday gatherings, school parties and lunches, and more
• A long-term program for measuring progress and making adjustments
