Collaboration across 4 clinics in 3 countries, beyond happy ☺️ & grateful 🙏 for the opportunity to team up🫛🥕with Drs. Phipps, Peterson, & S.A. Taylor! Everything you ever wanted to know about social validity in feeding:

“Accurate dissemination is needed to increase earlier access to effective feeding treatment for families and specialised training for professionals to promote data-based and individualised decision-making in this vital area.”
