Nonfinancial: Danielle Carey has no competing nonfinancial interests or relationships with regard to the content presented in this course.
This course gives you the clinical competence to assess and treat pediatric feeding disorders secondary to structural, sensory-based, and experience-based difficulties. At the completion of this course, you will be able to identify tongue-ties in relation to feeding difficulties and walk your clients through the recovery process. This course will help you think about each client’s individual differences in order to best serve clients using neurodiverse-affirming care. This course will review sensory differences in relation to feeding and evidence-based strategies to help your client gain a better introspection surrounding food. Parent education is crucial when working with feeding clients. This course will give you the confidence and knowledge to appropriately guide parents on ways to support their children’s feeding progress.

- Design a plan of care based on each client’s case history and individual differences to demonstrate optimal progress and build trust

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Tactile and Visual System

2. Gustatory and Auditory System
This chapter will focus on the gustatory and auditory systems and will examine sensory processing related to taste and sound for the pediatric client. Parent education tips and suggested accommodations are also provided.
3. Olfactory, Vestibular, Proprioceptive, and Interoceptive System
This chapter will explore how individuals process smells, balance, body awareness, and internal sensations differently. It will also provide targeted intervention strategies to help regulate these sensory responses, promoting better integration and overall well-being.
