After spending 280+ episodes growing our evidenced-based practice, we have evolved how we write our PFD goals big-time! So, wrap up your year discovering functional resources for combating ableism and antiquated deficits-based writing, and join the ladies of “First Bite” to discover ways to write strengths-based and trauma-informed goals that respect the autonomy of the children on your caseload while also supporting their caregivers in the process of making merry memories during mealtime!
