Tune in for this engaging 1-hour course that brings together top audience questions and expert insights from all the speech-language pathologists who presented during the five-part series, "Empowering Providers Through Transforming Pediatric Feeding Journeys." Designed for speech-language pathologists and interprofessional providers, this session offers a practical, real-world look at pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders (PFD) from the NICU to school age.
Through a dynamic Q&A format, participants will explore key topics including early identification of feeding differences, the four-domain framework of PFD, and how PFD relates to Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). The course also highlights how medical, psychosocial, and environmental factors—such as trauma, caregiver mental health, and social context—shape feeding development and clinical decision-making.
You’ll gain insight into interprofessional collaboration across settings, from the NICU to schools, with practical guidance on role delineation, referrals, and team-based care. Audience-driven discussions also address real clinical questions, including when to involve lactation or mental health specialists, how to apply trauma-informed care in school settings, and how to support emerging clinicians in this specialty area.
You will leave with clear, actionable strategies to support confident decision-making, strengthen collaboration, and deliver compassionate, family-centered care for children with feeding challenges.
