This course will use video journeys of several infants and toddlers through the first 36 months of life to highlight “typical” gross, fine and oral motor development. This knowledge base should serve as a foundation for evaluating children with feeding challenges.

Course Description
Research and clinical practice highlight the correlation between what is happening in the body and how it impacts oral sensory motor skill development for feeding and speech. In order to evaluate children with feeding challenges, it is essential to understand how posture and alignment influence feeding and swallowing. We need to understand the ongoing process and the variability of gross, fine and oral sensory motor development in the “typically developing” infant and toddler, prior to evaluating our clients with motor challenges.
This two hour course will use video journeys of several infants and toddlers through the first 36 months of life to highlight “typical” gross, fine and oral motor development. This knowledge base should serve as a foundation for evaluating children with feeding challenges.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify gross motor milestones from birth to a year of age.
- Identify oral motor milestones from birth to a year of age.
- Explain how the interaction of gross, fine and oral motor development supports function for feeding.
