child wont eat

I have a child on my caseload who won't eat. THe only things he does accept are a few dry, crunchy foods(cheerios, veggie crisps) and he drinks milk.
He is 4 years old and has a dx of PDD. The family has tried tomatis therapy to help overcome some of the sensory issues associated with his lack of eating, but it really hasn't made a real change.
He gets plenty of sensory play and is on the Wilbarger protocol.
I really feel like I am getting nowhere with this little guy and I wondered if anyone has any suggestions.
His family is not open to a feeding clinic.
Any advice?
