Session 3 of this five-part series explores pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders through a caregiver-centered, socially informed lens, featuring Meg Simione, PhD, CCC-SLP, and Emma Justice, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, NTMTC, and moderated by Madi Metcalf, MS, CCC-SLP. Together, they examine how environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic factors, along with caregiver perspectives, shape feeding development, access to care, and long-term outcomes.
Through case-based examples that follow a child from the NICU through early intervention and into school-based services, this session highlights how feeding challenges evolve and how social determinants influence both assessment and intervention.
You will gain a clearer understanding of how to apply a holistic perspective across care settings, strengthen interprofessional collaboration, and support continuity of care to improve outcomes for children and their families.
