Children do not present with one area of difficulty when it comes to feeding – it is typically a mix of behavior, sensory and oral-motor issues. As a result, we need to learn how to adjust on the fly when a child throws us a curveball in a session that doesn’t fit with our treatment plan.
In this 2-day seminar, I will show you how to use a roadmap to navigate the muddy waters of feeding and learn how to seamlessly move between sensory, motor and behavior strategies to create the best-individualized treatment plan for each child.
Through video case examples, I will show you treatment strategies, and hands-on exercises to gain the knowledge needed to successfully treat feeding difficulties.
You’ll walk away with advanced techniques to:
Evaluate the causes of mealtime difficulties: behavior, sensory, oral motor, or a combination
Increase the range of foods, decrease rigidity around mealtimes
Increase jaw strength and decrease ineffective lip closure, or poor tongue lateralization
Use deep breathing and proprioceptive input to address self-regulation at the table
Educate parents and caregivers to promote carryover at home
Increase self-regulation around feeding
Increase food play and exploration to increase food acceptance
餵養方面，兒童不會出現一個方面的困難——這通常是行為、感覺和口腔運動問題的混合體。因此，我們需要學習如何在孩子在不符合我們治療計劃的課程中向我們拋出曲線球時進行即時調整。
在這個為期 2 天的研討會中，我將向您展示如何使用路線圖在餵養的渾水摸魚中前行，並學習如何在感官、運動和行為策略之間無縫切換，從而為每個孩子製定最佳的個性化治療計劃。
通過視頻案例，我將向您展示治療策略和實踐練習，以獲得成功治療餵養困難所需的知識。
您將掌握先進的技術，以：
評估進餐困難的原因：行為、感覺、口腔運動或組合
增加食物種類，減少進餐時間的僵硬
增加下頜力量並減少無效的嘴唇閉合或舌側化不良
使用深呼吸和本體感受輸入來解決餐桌上的自我調節問題
教育父母和看護人以促進在家中結轉
加強對餵養的自我調節
增加食物的玩耍和探索，以增加食物的接受度
