OVERVIEW
Practical Strategies for Treating Complex Pediatric Feeding Disorders: Treating the Whole Child - Session 1 is organized by Education Resources, Inc (ERI) and will be held from Sep 28 - 29, 2018 at South Shore Hospital, Weymouth, Massachusetts, United States of America.

This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.35 CEUs.
Course Description:
Clinicians will be taught the necessary components of a comprehensive evaluation of feeding problems including those encountered by children with oral motor dysfunction, oral motor inexperience, oral hypersensitivity, behavioral rigidity and anxiety as seen in children with cardiac issues, prematurity, ASD, syndromes, SPD. The focus will be on a holistic treatment approach for challenging feeding disorders that are characteristically seen with tube dependency, oral inexperience, severe oral hypersensitivity, rigid eating patterns, and difficulty transitioning to table foods.
Participants will leave with a comprehensive therapy toolbox including suggestions for reducing mealtime stress and anxiety and ensuring family carryover. Video case analysis will enhance problem-solving in hospital, school, home and private practice settings.
Conference Objectives:
• Identify children who are appropriate for oral functional therapy.
• Perform a holistic evaluation of complex feeding problems.
• Identify the barriers to normal eating patterns and reasonable treatment goals.
• Develop a holistic treatment approach, including determining treatment priorities and the appropriate intensity of therapy (including issues of timing as to when to use resources differently).
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
