Online Feeding & Swallowing Courses
Address feeding, eating, swallowing and mealtime difficulties with confidence.
Dysphagia
Most of us did NOT learn how to comprehensively evaluate and address swallowing issues back in OT school, especially not for our pediatric clients. The occupation of mealtime is one of our most important and you can't eat if you can't swallow. That's where our course: "The Neurobiology of Swallowing & Dysphagia" comes in handy.
Oral Motor
Looking for effective and motivating intervention ideas and tools for helping your pediatric clients build their oral motor skills? Wondering what Baby Led Weaning is and how you can use it? Wondering how to get your client to chew real food? Not to worry- those topics are our favorites. Check out: Teaching Kids to Eat to learn more.
Picky Eating
You can fix picky eating. And we've spent years digesting the research and trying all the intervention techniques to find a formula that WORKS. This course shows you how to individualize your therapy in respectful ways for kids who struggle with picky eating. Re-Thinking Picky Eating is unique and invaluable for feeding therapists.
Feeders & Growers
We started F&G with a drive to change the way OTs are taught about feeding and swallowing issues. After years of feeling like we were just missing something, we realized that what was missing was quality, comprehensive continuing education for OTs, by OTs on the topics of infant and pediatric feeding, eating, and swallowing. We became driven to improve feeding therapy outcomes for ourselves and for other OTs out there who care deeply about our clients but aren't making the gains we hoped for.
