Course Description

Goals are a critical component of feeding therapy and feeding therapy is complicated. Goal writing is essential for reimbursement and justification of services but  many therapists are finding as their feeding therapy has been evolving and growing, our traditional goals just have not been keeping up with our philosophical changes. 

In this course, “Rethinking Goals through a Gentler Responsive Lens,” we will look at setting directions for therapy in partnership with parents that provide opportunity without demands, that support adaptations, and allow for adjustment along the way to support the unique feeding preferences and learning styles of each child.

One of Marsha and Bre’s favorite aspects of this course is it’s inclusion of interviews with some of our favorite providers in the responsive feeding world including Karen Dilfer, OTR/L, Stephanie Cohen, M.A., CCC-SLP, CLC, Katie Hird, OTD, OTR/L, CLC, Jennifer Berry, OTR and Heidi Liefer Moreland, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, CLC, and Erin Sundseth Ross, PhD, CCC-SLP! 

In this 3 hour webinar, you will learn to:

  • Contrast qualitative versus quantitative goals

  • Describe a responsive feeding goal vocabulary

  • Consider both parent and child goals

  • Be able to create feeding goals through a responsive gentler lens

  • Describe a continuum of progress options for each goal

  • Be able to describe feeding goals for many aspects of feeding therapy from new eaters to selective eaters, to worried eaters, to those transitioning from tubes
