5 reviews for Beyond a Bite Professional Edition: Practical Approaches to Sensory and Feeding Challenges With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Neurodivergent Clients

  1. Lea Peyton Gebhardt, Phd, RDN, LDN, Pediatric Feeding Specialist and Owner, Pantry Medicine

    As a feeding specialist, I found this book to be an invaluable resource for those professionals wanting to widen their breadth of practice with parent coaching and new food exposures for their clients. The practical advice given to help parents navigate the feeding relationship coupled with the clever feeding activities will enrich any practice with feeding therapy.

  2. JoAnna Siciliano, RD, LDN, Children’s Hospital University of Illinois (CHUI)

    This is an amazing resource for the practitioner. The emphasis on nutrition and feeding approaches for the autism spectrum child, along with mindful parenting approaches for the caregiver–complete with dialogue and activities–enable the practitioner to address the needs of the whole family. I have been increasingly seeing this type of patient in my clinics. This resource will be highly beneficial to my practice and the providers I work with.

  3. Lauren Elitzak, OTR/L, PT, DPT, Pediatric Occupational and Physical Therapist

    Beyond a Bite Professional Edition is an encouraging, inspiring and supportive set of suggestions, ideas and solutions for clinicians. This book welcomes the whole family to the table, and breaks down the steps to getting your clients to better participate in mealtimes, and to interact with foods in a variety of ways.

  4. Lea P. Gebhardt, PhD, RDN, LDN

    Beyond a Bite is a valuable tool for any clinician working through challenging nutrition and feeding difficulties in the neurodivergent population. It offers readers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to feeding. This evidence-based look at nutrition, meal time challenges, stages of food acceptance, and family counseling techniques provides REAL, APPLICABLE, guidance to clinicians. The activities alone will definitely enrich your practice and patient feeding outcomes!

  5. Yvette Phillips, RD, LN, Glasgow, MT

    I enjoyed this course-it was a good introduction to the feeding challenges some parents face with their children. I like that it was presented from the child’s development and the need to start with small changes. It was also beneficial to understand that the process can take time.

How Testing Works

Skelly Skills offers two types of Continuing Education (CE), also known as Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The two types of CDR-approved CE we offer are:

  1. Prior approved enduring (formerly known as self-study) CE courses using printed, online or eBook formats.
  2. Prior approved live, which are CE webinars.

For each of these types of CE, we offer Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs — also called CEUs, clock hours, or CPD hours).

Prior Approved Enduring (formerly Self-study) Courses

Our prior approved enduring CE courses all include a CE exam. This is important for some of you because you *may* be limited by the number of prior approved enduring (aka self-study) hours you can accumulate. For each course, you will need to complete the CE exam through our online testing system. It’s easy and you’ll get your CE Certificate of Completion as soon as you pass the course (or complete the Feedback Survey, in the case of our one-hour on-demand CE webinars).

Prior Approved Live (Live Webinars)

Our live CE webinars include a Feedback Survey. Within 24 hours of the live webinar, we will send an email with the Assessment ID and Key ID to complete the Feedback Survey through our testing system. Once you complete that, you’ll immediately be able to print and/or download your CE Certificate of Completion (it will also be emailed to you).

How to Purchase and Complete a Course

Step 1: Visit Skelly Skills and choose the topic and book or other course type you want to study. The number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours are shown on each product page. Note to international customers: You can change the display currency using the icons on the right of the page.

Step 2: Pay online—you’ll get virtual courses immediately or else you’ll receive the book in the mail along with the CE exam booklet (we call this a ‘CE Evaluation’). Note: for books that we publish in-house, we include the CE exam and testing info in the back of the book, not as a separate booklet.)

Step 3: Study the course content. Once you have finished, complete the online exam at our testing site using the Assessment ID and Key ID (password) provided to you in the CE Evaluation, or on the course webpage if you are completing an on-demand webinar or online course.

That’s it! Once you have passed your exam, you’ll receive a PDF certificate of completion which includes the number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours.
