Eating is an ability that most infants are prepared for as soon as they are born, but for some, it is a daunting task. According to the World Health Organization, there are approximately 15 million pre-term babies born each year, and often, these babies have feeding and swallowing difficulties. In addition, there are babies born with a variety of cardiac, respiratory, neurological and structural issues that make feeding very challenging.

Early and appropriate skilled intervention is a key factor in establishing feeding success for these babies, and proper training is required to understand the unique challenges of this population from birth to early childhood.

This two-day workshop will provide participants with evaluation and treatment strategies for medically complex infants in the inpatient setting, and in the outpatient and home settings after discharge. Focus of this course will be the identification of abnormal feeding skills from birth to early childhood, the development of a plan of care to address the feeding challenges and specific treatment ideas and tools for therapy.

In order to receive credit, participants are required to attend both days of the workshop.

Instructors:
Leonia "Lee" Walker, MS, CCC-SLP
Virginia "Ginnie" Bogar, MA, CCC-SLP
