Getting your kid\u2019s nutrition right is especially important if you have a special-needs child. Otherwise, you\u2019ll just be making things harder on your child (and yourself).\n\nBut according to Judy Converse, dietician and author of Special-Needs Kids Eat Right, the biggest hurdle parents face when it comes to nutrition-care is a lack of support and literature to help them along the way.\n\nSo they try to do it on their own. But without knowing the right approach, they usually end up unintentionally making their child\u2019s symptoms worse.\n\nNutrition deals with a whole host of variables -- chemical balances, allergies, intolerances, food sensitivities, etc. And every child is different. But there is a way to get things right, and in this audio, you\u2019ll hear how.
