Projects
“Woah.... super impressed at the phenomenal work and love Laura and Scott have poured into this vitally important guide! Listening to, and understanding Autistic lived experience - and working in a trauma informed approach - are all key to creating authentically safe, supporting spaces for Autistic people, and their families."
“As a pediatric feeding therapist, I celebrate this book because unique (neurodivergent) eaters can find a friend and role model in Gabby with their friend Meeple as they navigate their worries about eating environments and eating new foods. We can all learn a lot from these two food detectives!”
