This interactive training with Rachel Conrad, MA, CCC-SLP, invites clinicians to rethink how they approach pediatric feeding by centering curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. Rachel emphasizes understanding the why behind feeding differences and moving beyond pressure based strategies toward care that honors each child’s sensory, emotional, and developmental needs.
You’ll explore how to identify red flags, complete functional feeding assessments, and thoughtfully integrate sensory, oral motor, psychosocial, and medical factors into cohesive care plans. Through real-world examples and clinical scenarios, Rachel connects theory to everyday decision-making for clinicians working in private practice, school settings, and interdisciplinary teams.
This course highlights responsive feeding, caregiver partnership, and lived experience perspectives that support safety, autonomy, and trust at the table. You’ll leave with practical, immediately usable strategies to support meaningful progress and create more positive, sustainable mealtime experiences for children and their families.
