A feeding tracker for selective eating
Tolerated in the room, touched, smelled, tasted. Acceptance at any step is a real win, and this is how you see the progress that is easy to miss.

01 · What you'll notice
What it keeps track of.
- What was offered and what was accepted
- How each meal went overall, on the acceptance steps
- Small steps of acceptance: in the room, touched, smelled, bitten
02 · Why it helps
Something firmer than a hunch.
Selective eating progress is slow and easy to miss, which makes mealtimes feel discouraging. Tracking acceptance step by step changes that. A food tolerated on the plate today is genuine progress, even if it is not eaten, and seeing those small steps add up keeps the pressure down and the hope up. It also gives a feeding therapist a clear picture to work from.
03 · How it works
Three steps.
- Log a meal: what was offered, what was accepted, and how the meal went overall.
- Count every step, since tolerating a food nearby is real progress.
- Your report shows how meals went on the acceptance steps, and how many reached the mouth.
04 · The thinking behind it
What it's built on.
Built around the SOS Approach to Feeding hierarchy, which sees eating as a series of steps from tolerating a food's presence to tasting and chewing it. Selective eating is often driven by sensory sensitivity or ARFID patterns, not preference, and this log honors that.
Specthrive's trackers are developed with a licensed clinical counselor (LPCC) on our founding team.
