Event Information

Course Description

More children than ever need early intervention and other services. And, there are not enough available services. Therapists, early interventionists, parents, medical professionals, and others have seen a sharp rise in children with delayed and/or disordered feeding, speech, and mouth development. These include children with disabilities, as well as many typically-born children who for some reason are not developing as expected. This is a literature-based, criterion-referenced course to help anyone interested in keeping and getting children, with or without disabilities, on track in feeding, speech, and mouth development. Participants learn functional, safe techniques to use in practice and to teach others.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

Identify oral sensory-motor problems that impact feeding, speech, and mouth function in children without and with specific disabilities (e.g., autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc.)
Identify typical and atypical anatomy/physiology and feeding/speech/mouth function.
Identify appropriate treatments for feeding/speech/mouth function problems.
Apply general oral massage for appropriate populations (e.g., children with oral defensiveness, oral awareness problems, tonic bite, hyper-responsive gag, etc.)
Apply feeding techniques that can be safely used and taught to parents and care providers.

Good

For this course the textbook is heavily referred to and some resources are used. It would be helpful to make this very clear, as part of the pre-course enrolment info, that these are not included and encourage the recipient to purchase prior to and have a list of the equipment required for the talk before hand. Thanks
