and 11 years of age were treated for severe food
refusal. Also worked in the Outpatient Feeding
Disorders Program doing feeding therapy with a variety of cases. This
included doing clinic evaluations to determine
whether a child was appropriate for the program,
as well as determining where they belonged in
the feeding program if treatment was advised.

at Kennedy Krieger Institute), as well as abroad,
before deciding to open the Los Altos Feeding

Ben
Zimmerman works from a behavioral perspective.
Although from experience working in a multidisciplinary
team at Kennedy Krieger Institute, Ben has learned
that other disciplines must be taken into account when conducting feeding therapy.
