The authors of the best-selling Pre-Feeding Skills bring you another invaluable resource for guiding mealtime experiences. 
The Mealtime Participation Guide expands on the participation experiences listed in the authors' first edition, Pre-Feeding Skills: A Comprehensive Resource for Feeding Development. This guide provides an extensive set of activities to guide you through the physical mealtime experiences, as well as imagined mealtime, developmental, sensory and interactional experiences. You can complete the feeding activities individually or use them to guide group instruction. The guide is also helpful for training students, staff, and parents.

• The guide provides an extensive set of over 130 separate learning experiences that can be grouped in unlimited ways to support a wide variety of teaching designs and focuses. 

• Information from chapters can be integrated to provide a complete mealtime learning experience for both individuals and groups. 

• The experiential model used in the text focuses on learning through exploration and self-discovery. 

• It creates connections through an integration of concept and experience, and honours different learning styles through a multi-sensory presentation model. 

• The guide reflects the authors' theory that mealtime includes communication, social interaction, cultural values, sensory exploration, physical skills, and the intake of nutrients.
