Pediatric feeding and swallowing needs in schools require clinicians to balance safety, meaningful participation, cultural responsiveness, and educational relevance. In this advanced course, Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, and Margaryta Kuzmin, MA, CCC-SLP, TSSLD-BE, provide a practical systems-based framework for delivering high-quality services across diverse school environments.
You'll learn to identify characteristics of Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Disorder in school settings and understand key indicators for when to assess, intervene, or refer. The course emphasizes culturally responsive practice and equips you to evaluate needs while collaborating effectively with families from varied backgrounds.
Carolyn and Margaryta will guide you through developing interdisciplinary safe eating plans and creating staff training systems that support consistent implementation across your team. Through case-based clinical reasoning exercises, you'll practice selecting and applying evidence-informed, school-appropriate interventions that improve functional feeding outcomes while upholding each student's right to FAPE.
