This course was previously entitled, Developing Oral-Motor and Feeding Skills in the Down Syndrome Population. It has been updated.

Course Description

This one day class focuses on the development of oral sensory motor skills to support safe, nutritive and socially acceptable feeding skills in people with a diagnosis of Down syndrome. 

Factors which interfere with feeding, and strategies to mitigate those obstacles will be covered.

A theoretical foundation for assessment and treatment will be provided.  Therapeutic techniques for pre-feeding, and therapeutic feeding will be shared through videos and demonstrations.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will know how to:

  1. Analyze health issues which impact feeding and are noted more frequently in people with Down Syndrome
  2. Identify characteristics which impact feeding within the Down Syndrome population
  3. Describe a working knowledge of the theory behind a sensory motor approach to feeding
  4. Assess sensory motor issues which impact nutrition and oral-motor feeding skills 

    This course is an interactive, hands-on workshop. When taking this course as a self-study it is encouraged that you follow along with all of the activities.

    A must have if you with within the DS population!

    My entire practice supports children with Down syndrome and this class single handedly changed the scope of my practice! I could not go on practicing in my old (non sensory motor) ways after taking this. Parents who don’t have access to local therapists... this is YOUR GO-TO Resource! Thank you Lori!

    Heather, thanks for your comments and for all you do for children with Down syndrome!
