Mealtime Miseries: Management of Complex Feeding Issues
Elizabeth Clawson MS, Ph.D.
Carol Elliott BS, OTR/L
How does feeding, a process so integral to the child’s 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 and 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. This course is packed with practical solutions, hands on techniques and provides an extensive reproducible handout that will empower you with new treatment ideas for your most complex patients. These interventions are systematic and evidence based. This course is appropriate for the following clinicians working with children with feeding disorders: OT, COTA, SLP, RD, RN, CSW, Psychologists.
