This course seeks to provide therapists with a toolbox of strategies to support common feeding challenges that arise during complementary feeding. Therapists will learn the sequence of gross, fine motor, oral-motor, and sensory development from birth to 24 months, and how this developmental sequence influences the introduction of complementary foods. Therapists will be encouraged to consider the development of the whole child, use key assessment skills, and collaborate with other professionals to identify the root cause of a feeding challenge and provide individualized treatment.
