Comprehensive Professional Training Program praised by experienced therapists as well as new graduates

Learn a step-by-step approach for helping children explore food, enjoy eating, and participate independently in social mealtimes. The AEIOU approach- acceptance, exposure, independence, observation and understanding – is a responsive feeding approach that offers a highly successful method for integrated treatment of infants and young children with pediatric feeding disorders of mild to complex etiologies.  Learn to meet children and families where they are, provide effective family coaching and parent training, and make progress!  Participants will leave with extensive knowledge and practical information: improve quality of mealtime, manage tube dependency and transition to eating solid foods, treat sensory-based food aversions, improve oral-motor skills, and more. This course will be presented live online, in addition to self-paced video modules, in an interactive learning environment, using case studies and videos to engage and instruct participants. Extensive resources are provided and participants will be well equipped to help families achieve home carryover. Many strategies and accommodations are discussed to address the needs of those with varying diagnoses including: prematurity, GERD, allergies, neurodiversity, failure to thrive, tracheostomy, picky eaters, tongue and lip ties, and children with various syndromes.
