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

Learn  a step-by-step approach for pediatric feeding disorders, to help  children explore food, enjoy eating, participate independently in social  mealtimes, and thrive. 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 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 aversions, advance oral-motor skills, and more. This  course is presented in a dynamic 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.
