Georgiana Trancau

Passionate and dedicated to the field of psychology since high school, I chose with my heart when I decided to study psychology. I am currently a psychological counselor, speech therapist and for 13 years I have been working 1 on 1 with children with multiple diagnoses and more. The skills acquired during my training, both personally and professionally, combine wonderfully with the openness and love for the needs of the child and the family. Thus, my work turns into a source of energy, inspiration and enthusiasm.

Presentation: Peace at the table: the peculiarities and eating habits of children with autism

Abstract:

During the conference I will present a case study, which brings into discussion the specificity of eating and nutrition for children with autism. Oftentimes, the particularities of this diagnosis include: food selectivity, sensitivity to textures, difficulties in changing routines and sometimes poorly developed motor skills, leading to the necessity of the intervention of a multidisciplinary team. In most cases, the importance of a personalized and respectful approach, as well as the application of specific strategies in therapy, can bring positive changes in children's lives.
