This one-hour course is the second of five sessions dedicated to transforming pediatric feeding journeys through coordinated, interdisciplinary care. With a focus on the medical domain of Pediatric Feeding Disorder, this session brings attention to the often complex health factors that can directly impact feeding and swallowing, and why no single provider can address them in isolation.
Led by Dr. Tessa Gonzalez, MD, FAAP, and Dr. Richard Noel, MD, PhD, and moderated by Leena Sayed, MS, CCC-SLP, this session takes a closer look at how airway challenges, gastrointestinal function, and overall health influence feeding outcomes. Participants will gain insight into how these medical considerations intersect with other domains of Pediatric Feeding Disorder and shape both assessment and intervention decisions.
Through a team-based lens, this session highlights what effective collaboration actually looks like in practice. You will walk away with practical strategies to strengthen communication, streamline referrals, and work more cohesively across disciplines, all in service of safer care, clearer diagnoses, and better outcomes for the children and families you support.
