Children eating behaviour survey and TASTER programme news briefing
The Association Children and Family Support Service surveyed children eating behaviour and successfully interviewed 401 On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services (OPRS) parents. The survey result shows that over half of the children with special needs are picky eaters. And over 30% of parents get stressed when their children are picky eaters. The Association held a news briefing to share the survey result with the media and invited a parent, Mrs. CHEUNG, to share how she dealt with her children’s picky eating situation and how the Association’s TASTER programme helped her children to try a bite of new or non-preferred foods.
