I'm a parent of a special needs child. She suffers from 2 rare disorders which they have given her delays, epilepsy, and feeding issues. She has been diagnosed with autism and intellectual disability, as well. This is my blog about my life raising a special needs child.

Self Feeding
Livy was doing it again yesterday. She was feeding herself Cheerios. She hasn't be able to do this before because of their size. She still rakes and has trouble getting them in, but she was doing it. This is so exciting. She's not ready to do it all the time though. I tried it with a french fry for dinner last night and she just wanted me to do it. I guess we have to start somewhere and we will get to full self-feeding one day. She does not like to touch soft and slimy things, so that will be awhile before she self-feeds fruits and some vegetables. At least we are on the right path!
