Ben Sarcia, MA, is a dedicated therapist specializing in helping children navigate challenging mealtime behaviors, particularly in families where such experiences can evoke frustration. As the director of Healthy Beginnings, a behavioral feeding therapy program, he has successfully guided numerous children through an array of mealtime difficulties, including selectivity regarding food types, colors, brands, and textures. Ben also addresses complex issues such as food aversions that lead to vomiting at the sight of new foods and those who struggle with using utensils or are dependent on feeding tubes. He utilizes Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), a research-supported and evidence-based practice, to develop effective strategies that aid children in cultivating appropriate mealtime behaviors. His program has shown impressive outcomes, achieving a 96% goal accomplishment rate among a cohort of 26 children, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who completed the intensive therapy. Ben looks forward to collaborating with families to transform mealtime into a joyful and positive experience for everyone involved.
