Pediatric patients with acquired brain injury may experience complex feeding, swallowing, and cognitive communication challenges that change over time and across development.
Presented by Hannah Patten, MSP, CCC-SLP, this course focuses on evidence-based evaluation and treatment approaches for oropharyngeal dysphagia, feeding difficulties, and cognitive communication impairment following pediatric neurological injury.
Grounded in current literature and real-world case examples, the session highlights assessment and intervention considerations for infants and children with ABI, including abusive head trauma and disorders of consciousness. Emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning, safety, and functional outcomes when working with medically complex pediatric populations.
