The ability to eat with peers during snack time, or participate in family mealtimes may be the norm for the general population however there is a subset of the pediatric population that does not have the ability to independently or safely engage in these activities due to the presence and severity of their oropharyngeal dysphagia. This 6 hour course is designed to educate attendees on the intricate interplay of the pediatric Brain-Mouth-Gut connection and how errors in this system, (such as inter-uterine CVA, diminished mastication reflexes, and delayed GI motility), can result in oropharyngeal dysphagia.
