Tools in Your Pantry Effectively Using the New Oral-Motor Steps to Eating

$115.00

This Advanced Workshop helps attendees refine their ability to create Food Hierarchies which better meet the sensory and oral-motor skill development needs of children with pediatric feeding disorders. Additional strategies for “using food as the tool” in feeding therapy will also be discussed. The new Oral-motor Steps to Eating hierarchy will be presented. Dr. Toomey, Dr. Ross and other Speech Pathologists spent over a year in discussion to expand the Tasting and Eating steps from the SOS Training Course. The new Oral-Motor Steps to Eating Hierarchy breaks down the original tasting and eating steps into smaller steps, to help children with significant oral-motor issues acquire the skills to eat a wide variety of age-appropriate foods.
