The short version: John had severe oral aversion for nearly a year and was g-tube fed. Finally we found the Netcoaching program from the University of Graz, Austria: http://www.notube.at/. It was great! There were ups and downs and it was messy and difficult, but after a few months, John was taking all his food by mouth! This program is cheaper than any program I've seen in the US (<$4000) and the approach is much more natural and positive than the behavioral approach used by many in the US (e.g. Kennedy Krieger, LAFC). I have seen it work beautifully for another young friend of ours, too.
