Course Description
**Take this course along with "Pediatric Feeding-The Big Picture 1" for a discounted price (up to $55.00 discount per person)!
In “Pediatric Feeding – The Big Picture I”, we learned about the Motor, Sensory, and Behavioral causes of pediatric feeding disorders. In this intermediate level, follow-up course, using case studies and group discussion, OTs, PTs, SLPs and Dysphagia Professionals will delve into two more causes: Medical Problems and glitches in the Family Dynamics. Learn what you can and cannot do to help a child with severe gastrointestinal or cardiopulmonary problems eat. How does Prematurity contribute to feeding problems? Explore the effects of different medications on swallowing and why you should always know what meds your client is on. Discover some of the rarely explored effects on the family having a child with a feeding disorder and walk away with concrete ways to support and empower your families to help their child and themselves.
"Pediatric Feeding – The Big Picture I” MUST be taken prior to attending this course.
