A Responsive Approach to Motor Learning and Skill Development in Pediatric Feeding

Description

This engaging and evidence-based course explores how feeding is not just a physical task, but a complex motor learning process deeply influenced by autonomy, motivation, felt safety, and relational context. Using a responsive feeding lens, Jennifer and Heidi equip professionals with tools to support children’s feeding development through responsive, relationship-centered strategies. Participants learn to identify barriers to progress and foster internal motivation to promote lasting skill acquisition. With practical applications across developmental stages from infancy to independent eating, the course empowers therapists to shift from providing routine motor interventions to developing and providing foundational support that enhances motor learning and develops emotional well-being in a way that leads to lasting change.
