About the event
Can I use a chewy tube? Do those exercises actually work?
After a sold-out event in 2023, this workshop is updated and back to bring Speech Pathologists the essentials they need to know about oral motor interventions for paediatric feeding. Dr Katherine Sanchez and Holly Tickner have teamed up to deliver a workshop all about the often-confusing topic of Oral Motor Therapy (OMT) for paediatric feeding.
This workshop will:
Describe the consensus definition for Paediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) - Oral Skills subtype, and how it relates to oral motor dysfunction
Identify the principles of motor learning and neural plasticity relevant to feeding skill development and intervention
Identify assessment tools that provide evidence-based data for outcome measurement, goal setting and therapy planning
