COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Feeding challenges in childhood through adulthood can arise from sensory differences, structural differences, a lack of experience with advanced textures, or all the above. Enhance your feeding knowledge with this holistic approach that acknowledges the role of structural differences, retained reflexes, sensory differences, muscle weakness, and abnormal breathing/rest posture/swallow patterns on mealtime participation and eating. Determine how to functionally assess for tongue ties and determine when releases are warranted. Learn and embrace a neurodiversity affirming approach that accounts for individual differences including emotional support and counseling techniques that contribute to positive outcomes for clients and families struggling with feeding.
LEARNING OBJETIVES:
- Identify root cause(s) of pediatric feeding difficulty in infants through adolescents
- Differentiate between sensory-based, structurally based and experience-based feeding difficulties from case history review through assessment to prioritize intervention strategies.
- Recognize the impact of neurodiverse affirming care to foster a positive relationship based on trust and felt safety.
- Determine when and how to best advocate for clients with functional impairments cased by structural differences.
- Apply counseling strategies and active-listening techniques to facilitate caregiver collaboration for supporting children with feeding difficulties.
- Choose a plan of care to achieve optimal progress with safe and enjoyable feeding based on a client’s case history and individual differences.
- Utilize play-based treatment to build sensory-based, structural-based, and/or experienced-based feeding skills.

Non-Financial Disclosure: Danielle participates in research surrounding myofunctional disorders impact on speech and feeding. (Not sure if this is needed? I have 1 paper published early this year and I am currently working with 6 different teams on other projects surrounding tongue ties and infants, collaborative care in tongue tie management, a systematic review on OMT and feeding and a project on OMT/Airway).
This one one of my favorite courses that I have recently taken. Danielle was personable and interesting and encouraged participation and conversation throughout the course. She provided lots of great real world examples and videos on how to explain techniques. This was a course that I left feeling like I had evaluation and treatment strategies to use immediately. -Tara A., SLP
I thoroughly enjoyed this course! It provided easy to digest information about pediatric feeding evaluation and treatment. -Madison B., SLP
This was a wonderful course for therapists specializing in feeding. It was helpful to view feeding from all perspectives - structural, sensory, and experiential, all in one course to see how each domain plays off the others. -Laura A., OTR
