This full-day session explores pediatric dysphagia, specifically feeding assessment and techniques for infants, as well as behavioral dysphagia. You will leave with activities that you can immediately use with your patients to improve their feeding skills.
In this presentation, we will discuss evaluation and treatment techniques for infant dysphagia. Other aspects of dysphagia in infants will also be discusses, such as supplemental feeds, aspiration, positioning, thickening liquids, and objective assessments. We will review nipple/bottle selection, as well as characteristics of the nipples, flow rates, and change to change nipples.
This presentation will also focus on the behavioral aspects of pediatric Dysphagia, including etiologies, a team approach, types of aversions and their effects, components of the evaluation for a child with behavioral Dysphagia, with different options for goal writing and determining frequency of treatment. Through case analysis and video case examples, participants will develop tools for intervention strategies that can be utilized in therapeutic feeding sessions. Specific interventions will be reviewed, including evidence based interventions. These intervention and therapeutic strategies will be demonstrated through video examples. Follow-up process after the evaluation and/or intensive feeding program are completed will also be discussed, as well as common misperceptions about behavioral interventions and why some interventions fail.
