An OT’s Guide to Feeding Challenges

Course Overview

PART A: Video Presentation

Feeding difficulties not only increase a child’s risk of health problems but also negatively affect the parent-child relationship through increased caregiver stress. Eating together socially and self feeding practices are also wound up in various cultural and social norms. Feeding challenges can be highly complex and there is a clear need for multidisciplinary input. In this presentation, Nicole teases out the OTs’ role in assessing and managing feeding within the realms of Self-care and Occupational Performance. She will also provide guidance on the limits of your scope of practice and level of skill and experience, and when to refer to other professionals and resources.
