MANAGEMENT OF COMPLEX FEEDING DISORDERS
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
How does feeding, a process so integral to the childs health and
well-being, go awry? The focus of this 2 day course is on the
Transdisciplinary Effective Assessment and Treatment (TR-eat®) model
integrating oral motor/sensory therapy techniques along with medical
and behavioral management for the treatment of complex feeding
problems. It will cover innovative strategies, using video case
examples, to address oral aversion, food refusal, poor transition onto
solid foods, texture grading, learning to chew, self feeding and
feeding difficulties related to autism and picky eaters. It is
relevant for infants and children through school age. This course is
packed with practical solutions and hands on techniques that will
empower you with new treatment ideas for your most complex patients.
These interventions are systematic and evidence based with research
supporting outcomes.
This course is appropriate for the following clinicians working with
children with feeding disorders: OT, COTA, SLP, RD, RN, CSW, BCBA,
Psychologists. This course is appropriate for clinicians with all
levels of experience.
Contact us if you would like more information about our live course
opportunities or would like to know more about student registration
rates. Additionally, please let us know if you would like to request
assistance for special learning needs or other accommodations for
attendance of this course.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Following this course, participants will be able to:
* Identify the foundational principles of the TR-eat model.
* Identify at least 3 variables/issues (medical, oral motor, sensory
or behavioral) that produce a complex pediatric feeding problem.
* Identify at least 3 therapeutic interventions to introduce oral
feeding to the new feeder.
* Differentiate between behavioral strategies such as reinforcement,
desensitization, shaping, chaining, and fading and how these can
improve feeding skill development ranging from the new feeder to
selective eaters.
* Identify at least 3 therapeutic interventions for texture grading,
chewing and progression to age appropriate feeding skills for the
advanced feeder.
* Demonstrate competence for spoon handling, squeeze bottle use and
facilitative chewing strategies.
