Course Description:
Whether you are a new therapist seeking to expand your knowledge or an experienced therapist aiming to refine your skills, this course is designed to transform your practice. It will challenge you to think holistically to develop family-centered, compassionate, and individualized intervention plans for infants and young children with mild to complex etiologies. AEIOU - Acceptance, Exposure, Independence, Observation, and Understanding – is a framework for addressing pediatric feeding disorders that prioritizes child autonomy, family relationships, and authentic connections. It is an integrated, evidence-based, and responsive feeding approach that is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. By applying this highly successful framework, you will know how to proceed to meet children and families where they are, provide effective family coaching and parent training, and make progress! Learn to manage feeding tube dependency, address texture transitions and progression, treat sensory food aversions, advance chewing and cup drinking skills, develop utensil use and independent eating skills, improve dietary variety and nutrition, and much more! Many strategies and accommodations are discussed to address the needs of those with prematurity and other medical comorbidities, allergies, autism, growth and nutrition concerns, tracheostomy, picky eating, tongue and lip ties, children with various syndromes, and more. You will leave with extensive knowledge, practical information, and many resources to use the next day!
