Mealtime Notions: The 'Get permission' Approach to Mealtime and Oral Motor Treatment By Marsha Dunn Klein, nationally recognized pediatric occupational therapist, author and educator who specializes in eating and mealtime issues with infants and children. Marsha Kleinps ''Get Permission'' approach outlines a treatment method based on the principles of healthy, trusting feeding relationships. The therapist avoids pressure in any form. Instead, she watches for the child's cues, waits to get the child's permission before attempting to put food on her lips or in her mouth, and stops feeding at the first sign of child's unwillingness to continue.
