In this episode of Making Sense with Madi, host Madi Metcalf, MS, CCC-SLP, is joined by Jeanne Marshall, B Sp Path, PhD, and Valerie Gent, BAppSc (Speech Pathology), MMedRes, PhD Candidate, to examine the evidence behind responsive feeding therapy and its use with children with pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
Responsive feeding and responsive feeding therapy are closely related, but they are not the same. Jeanne and Valerie explain the distinction between the two, trace the foundations of responsive feeding therapy, and discuss the research supporting its use as a treatment framework. They also highlight key benefits of a responsive approach and what the evidence can tell clinicians about applying these principles in feeding therapy.
This episode will strengthen your understanding of the research behind responsive feeding therapy and help you feel more confident using this framework when supporting children with PFD and ARFID.
