  9. Analyze the progression of food texture and choice foods that match the sensory and motor skills.
  10. Demonstrate the use of behavior strategies effectively to increase compliance during therapy.
  11. Inspect unique challenges with various diagnoses such as autism, cerebral palsy and more to modify treatment accordingly.
