These small-group seminar courses in the Emotionally Aware Feeding (EAF) model represent a rare opportunity to take part in live, interactive training with leading Responsive Feeding expert,
Dr. Jo Cormack.

The EAF Model

EAF is an approach to childhood feeding challenges that focuses on the psychological and relational elements of food and feeding. Drawing on theory from the fields of psychology and psychotherapy, as well as child-feeding research, EAF falls under the Responsive Feeding Therapy (RFT) umbrella.

Feeding is always relational

Jo Cormack

EAF is geared towards parent (as opposed to child) -focused interventions. However, professionals whose delivery model
precludes direct work with parents may still find much of the content to be useful.
EAF can be used either as a stand-alone approach, bringing in other professionals as needed, or alongside a core area of practice such as OT, SLT, or dietetics. The cross-disciplinarity of the EAF model is a key strength.
EAF is inherently flexible and can be tailored to the needs of the individual child and family. Whether you work with developmentally normal ‘picky’ eating or ARFID, you can embed EAF in your work.

This EAF training is not suitable for parents or carers. However, it is suitable for any professional already working with feeding challenges or seeking to specialise in this rewarding and much-needed work.

A great course, you are completely generous with your knowledge and tools. I feel even people experienced in this area would gain something from seeing the way you do things and the format you have put into place.

A Thorough Introduction to
Responsive Feeding Therapy

EAF 1 gives you a grounding in the theoretical backdrop to RFT. There is some background reading (approximately an
hour/week) expected and sessions are highly interactive.

As well as the live taught content, learners will be given access to the foundational series from Responsive Feeding Pro (How the RFT Framework Can Enhance Your Practice) for a 50% discount. This represents a saving of $157.50 *

EAF 1 is suitable for those with limited prior knowledge of RFT and for those just starting out in feeding work. However, more experienced professionals may appreciate the thorough background to RFT which is provided.

The small group format is wonderful! The ability to interact with you, Jo, and with those in the group is just amazing, not only for learning/professional growth but also for the sense of community with like-minded others.

I also appreciate and value the academic / research based articles selected & provided as reading in preparation for each presentation.

I loved your EAF course. It covered far more than I expected and I would highly recommend it to anyone who works with ‘fussy’ [avoidant] eaters.

It was an asset having the course content delivered in a small group setting as it allowed space and time to ask ask questions.
