From Triage to Treatment: Therapy 911 What to do for your most challenging feeding therapy patients

Description

Cheri Fraker, CCC/SLP and Laura Walbert, CCC/SLP will be joined by pediatric dietitian Sibyl Cox, RD from the SIU School of Medicine. This new, advanced feeding therapy course is designed to teach participants how to triage a feeding disorder, identify the 911 risks to the child, determine who to call to make appropriate referrals and then form a plan to work together as a team during diagnostic therapy. The Therapy 911 course will help therapists avoid problems before they start, solve problems when they do occur and help therapists learn how to get a derailed therapy program back on course. Oral and tube feeding regimens will be discussed. Dynamic learning will be emphasized via an interactive model of teaching with participant participation. The most complex case studies will be used throughout the course. Videos will be used to maximize learning. Treatment strategies will be discussed and analyzed in detail. This course will provide the treating therapist with practical, common sense information to implement immediately and will provide the education you need to develop your diagnostic skills and improve your treatment outcomes. Course handout will provide easy to use guides, references and forms and it is designed for daily use.
