Course Description
This course will offer a practical, step-by-step outline to guide practitioners through the evaluation process with older children who struggle to enjoy eating. Karen will offer easy-to-implement strategies to assess a child’s food repertoire, sensory preferences, and mealtime skills, while emphasizing the importance of including parents in the assessment and therapy process.
While the feeding relationship is seen as central in younger typically developing children, sometimes this aspect of feeding is neglected during the assessment process of older anxious eaters. This course will help providers maintain a focus on relationship throughout the assessment process. Real life case examples and videos will help practitioners apply course material.
In this 2-hour webinar you will learn to:
-
Understand 6 components of assessment: preparation, parent interview/feeding history, feeding observation, therapeutic interaction, idea exchange with families, and written reports & goal writing
-
Understand the importance of the parent-therapist relationship and describe the concept of a therapeutic alliance
-
Identify at least three different reasons why it is important to incorporate children and their parents in the assessment process.
-
Implement successful strategies to include parents in the assessment process
Audience
This intermediate level course is appropriate for OTs, SLPs, PTs, assistants, educators, early intervention providers, parents/caregivers, and other professionals (social workers, nurses, registered dieticians, etc.) working with children with feeding challenges.
