In this video the therapist was holding the boys hands down and holding his head if he turned it away, and she forced the spoon into his mouth. I would be fine if the therapist just held the spoon in front of him until he took a bite and let him off if he didn't after a certain period of time, but I'm not OK with force-feeding, no matter how dire the circumstances.
Every other parenting site says you should never force feed a child.
