• Archive: $199.99 $60 - Eating with Ease: Managing Complex Feeding and Swallowing Problems in Children - Angela Mansolillo Developing a Menu for SuccessThe causes of feeding and swallowing difficulties in children are always multifaceted, sometimes misdiagnosed, and often difficult to assess and treat appropriately.
• Respiratory difficulties, gastro-intestinal function, oral-motor skills, and behavioral issues are just a few of the elements that can influence feeding and swallowing, limit response to treatment, and result in significant health issues.
• To maximize effectiveness, clinicians must resist the temptation to assess and treat feeding and swallowing disorders in isolation; instead, they must develop management plans that take into account interactions between and among oral-motor, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems.This essential course describes complex feeding and swallowing disorders as they manifest themselves in children who have a variety of diagnoses.
• Attendees gain successful strategies for identification of the underlying etiology of the dysphagia.
• The evidence base for specific therapies, including oral motor techniques, behavioral interventions, nutritional interventions, and strategies for respiratory control, are evaluated.
