Oral Motor Exercises! Sensory Stimulation! E-Stim! Behavioral Programming! How does it all fit together? How do OTs, SLPs, and PTs work together in a successful feeding program? How do you know when to use the different techniques out there? Should we combine approaches? How do you know where to start, when to “push”, and when to stop? Come learn the relationship between a child’s gross motor abilities and his feeding skills. Learn the three primary components of feeding disorders, Sensory/Motor/Behavioral and how to address them in a comprehensive treatment program. In this introductory course, for SLP/SLPAs, PT/PTAs and OT/COTAs you will learn how to work together to evaluate and choose different techniques and modalities in light of the specific needs of the child and the knowledge-base, roles, and scope of each discipline. Stop trying to use someone else’s “cookbook” and develop a unique program appropriate for each client.
