A therapeutic feeding programme. II: Links with language and learning.

The feeding programme described in Part I of this study produced immediate change in the eating patterns of disturbed children, who then became available for learning and language development in a way they had not been previously. The authors give a broad outline of the principles and practice of functional learning, and the educational technique they used. They describe the language development of one child in detail, and the methods used. Follow-up details are also given for the three children described in Part I of the study.
