Pediatric Feeding Disorders (Carey - Live Interactive Webinar)

Course overview

This course combines different types of feeding difficulties: structural-based, sensory-based, and experience-based feeding difficulties and creates a systematic approach for clinicians to address clients who have complex feeding concerns. Adopting an approach that accounts for individual differences and includes emotional support/counseling techniques/neurodiverse affirming care will create an influx of referrals due to the successfulness and parent support provided by this workshop. Clinicians involved in feeding therapy are called to examine various types of difficulties to provide caregiver support and evidence-based decision-making regarding treatment. This course will help you identify and improve referral process/treatment decision- making in relation to structural differences, sensory differences, and experience-based feeding differences. You will watch two frenectomies, discuss wound care afterward, and practice lingual, labial, and feeding exercises to share with your clients. After the course is complete, clinicians will have the competency to accept all types of feeding clients from birth-on.
