Why are children with disabilities more likely to have disordered and restrictive eating?
We assume that eating is a natural skill. However, our children learn to eat. There are 32 steps in eating. Children with disabilities don't learn at the same rate as neurotypical children and learning to eat is something they can struggle to learn. It all comes down to choking and self-safety and can create fear of food. When we don't get on top of this fear, it can create metaphobia - fear of vomiting.

NDIS
Under the NDIS, there is no benefit to getting diagnosed as it is classed as a medical issue even if it arises from.
However, there are some line items that allow you to get support for your child.
