Event Information

Course Description

TalkTools® virtual streaming workshops and webinars are recorded. Recorded presentations are available for 2 days after the dates posted and accessible only to learners who purchased a seat for this course. 

This course focuses on clinical re-evaluation and decision-making when progress in feeding therapy plateaus or regresses. Participants will explore how medical status, oral-motor skills, sensory processing, regulation, caregiver dynamics, and environmental factors may contribute to stalled progress in pediatric feeding intervention. Emphasis is placed on reassessing the “whole child” rather than increasing treatment intensity or adding isolated techniques.
Participants will examine indicators that signal the need to pause, modify, or redirect intervention, as well as when referral or interdisciplinary collaboration is warranted. This course is designed for feeding therapists seeking to strengthen assessment-driven practice and implement thoughtful, ethical approaches when feeding therapy outcomes do not progress as expected.
 

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to: 

  1. Identify at least five factors that may contribute to stalled or regressing progress in pediatric feeding therapy, including medical, oral-motor, sensory, regulatory, environmental, and caregiver-related influences.
  2. Differentiate when feeding intervention should be continued, modified, paused, or referred for interdisciplinary collaboration based on clinical presentation and reassessment findings.
  3. Apply a whole-child, assessment-driven framework to analyze feeding therapy plateaus while considering caregiver stress, family dynamics, and ethical clinical decision-making.
