ecSI 2.0 Inventory: Qualifying Workshop

Clinical experience as well as research have shown that high levels of Eating Competence correlate with parents (and adult caregivers) success and confidence with feeding children according to Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding, while simultaneously supporting adults’ eating, wellbeing and health outcomes.

In addition to evaluating a client’s level of eating competence, you can sub-score the ecSI2.0^TM questionnaire to determine how to focus eating competence with your clients. The sub-scored categories include eating attitudes, food acceptance, internal regulation and contextual skills capacities. Low scores on the Inventory can also indicate eating disorder risk and inform that type of assessment as well.

The inventory is a valid measure of Eating Competence for low-income females and provides a tool for researchers and educators to assess intervention outcomes and further explore the Eating Competence construct.

By completing the workshop, you’ll become familiar with the tool ecSI2.0^TM Inventory, practice scoring it, and learn how to focus your time and energy in session to help clients improve their eating. Case studies are included to illustrate the process.
