Amanda -- there is a lot of interesting information on this website:
http://www.new-vis.com/index.htm
I don't know if you will find it helpful or not. They have recently reformatted the website, and now there are articles that look like they might have practical suggestions. It is a little non-intuitive, but the articles are in the "Feed the Mind" section, under "Information Papers". I haven't read them yet. BUT, I did read the "Children with Feeding Tube" articles, which opened my eyes to a lot of ideas I hadn't considered. You can find those articles if you click the "Map" button, and scroll down under "Feeding".
Please share anything that works, and even good ideas that didn't work. I know a lot of us want to know.
