Adaptée aux 3 ans et plus, Manger & Jouer est la 1ère application mobile qui a pour objectif de donner un coup de pouce aux enfants face à leur assiette. Telle est la problématique chez les enfants, refuser de goûter un aliment nouveau. Sous forme de parcours d'ateliers ludiques et progressifs, l'enfant partira à la découverte d'aliments qu'il a tendance à refuser. L'application n'a pas pour but de faire manger tous les aliments aux enfants mais de leur offrir la possibilité de s'autoriser la découverte afin de savoir si le goût des aliments fait partie de leur registre gustatif ou non. Conçu par une maman confrontée pour son fils autiste présentant un trouble de l'oralité alimentaire, les jeux et l'application mobile ont été validés par un médecin nutritionniste spécialisé aux troubles du comportement alimentaire et sont déjà utilisés depuis plus d'un an par de nombreux professionnels de santé.
