Managing Difficult Feeding and Swallowing Challenges
with the Early Intervention Population$119.00 (.3 CEUs)
October 27, 2010 @ Therapeutic ResourcesThis introductory course is intended for new clinicians or those about to re-enter pediatric practice. Participants will receive “real-world” information needed while working in the field by providing the clinician with a toolbox to respond to a child and family having difficulty with eating. We will address the inherent complexities of managing feeding difficulties of young children in a home based environment. We'll cover the important issues of best practice when confronted with a myriad of challenges such as oppositional behavior, sensory disturbances, cultural nuances regarding foods and rituals, and family dynamics. Clinicians will learn how to sharpen their observation skills, and how to implement treatment using strategies that will work in the home setting. Clinical liability issues will also be addressed.
