I'm glad to hear that the parents are looking at speech therapy. It could of course be picky eating but I'm strongly in the camp of the speech and the eating being connected. Children with apraxia of speech for instance (I have a wonderful little girl in my care who struggles with this) can be influenced by oral fixations or aversions. Textures can be a problem. (As can social behaviours but that's another story.)
