Feeding Matters

One book can change how a whole school sees feeding. Ollie’s story tells kids with feeding differences they’re not alone and teaches the adults and classmates around them that when eating is hard, scary, or hurts, it’s not picky eating.

Send Ollie to School!
Buy an In My Own Way book for your child, and we’ll send you one for their school.

Fund a bundle of 3, 7, or 20 In My Own Way books and we’ll send to schools who need them across the United States.

The best feeding care is care we share. No one supports a child’s eating alone. The circle is wide: the clinicians you practice alongside and the ones you’ve met across the field, the educators and early-childhood providers who see these children every day, and the researchers shaping it.

To the Dietitians: growth is never just a number to you. You translate nutrition into a plan a family can actually live, and you protect a child’s health while the rest of the team does its work. The care these children need is care you help sustain. Join us at the Feeding + Eating Psychology Summit. $125 (CEUs included)

Invite a Friend! Whoever in your world cares about how children eat, bring them in, experience the Summit together and grow the shared understanding our families depend on. Group rate for 2 or more: $105 (CEUs included)

The best feeding care is care we share. No one supports a child’s eating alone. The circle is wide: the families and caregivers who live it every day, the people with lived experience who know it from the inside, the clinicians you practice alongside and the ones you’ve met across the field, the educators and early-childhood providers who see these children up close, and the researchers shaping what comes next.

To the families, caregivers, and people with lived experience in that circle: you are not at the edge of this work. You are at the heart of it. Join us at the Feeding + Eating Psychology Summit. Family Member/Lived Experience, Caregiver: $25.00

It’s not picky eating. If feeding your child feels harder than it should, you’re not alone.

In 2006, the Medical Professional Council was created to guide medical initiatives. In 2018 it was expanded into the PFD Alliance (today, the Feeding Alliance)

Applications for our Family Assistance Program are now open!

We know how expensive feeding therapy, specialty formula, feeding tubes, and all the extras that come with feeding disorders and difference can be.

Since 2019, we’ve awarded $50,000 to families across the United States to help ease that burden through the Family Assistance Program.

This year, we’re awarding five families $2,000.

Applications close Sunday, October 11, 2026.
