All Parents and Caregivers welcome! Please join us as we learn from guest speakers and exchange ideas - all from the comfort of your home.
September Topic: Takin' Bites: An informational Session on Pediatric Feeding Disorders
Research has shown that feeding disorders occur in as many as 35% of typically developing children and 80% of children diagnosed with developmental disabilities. During this online event, presenters will be teaching you how medical, oral-motor, sensory, and behavioral factors could all be contributing to your child’s feeding difficulties. We will also help you to understand when treatment is necessary and will review sensory focused treatment strategies to fit your child’s individual needs. Finally, we will share with you how to get started with the basics to help make mealtimes more successful at home.
Guest Speakers:
Hylan Noble, M.S., CCC-SLP, MeBe Associate Clinical Director of Speech & Language Pathology,
Angela Ochoa, MS, OTR/L, MeBe Clinical Director of Occupational Therapy,
Shana Smith, COTA/L, MeBe Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, and
Brittany Ryburn, BA, ABA Program Supervisor
Hylan, Angela, Shana, and Brittany work together at the MeBe San Diego Learning Center to collaborate across disciplines to support children with feeding disorders with a collaborative approach to feeding therapy by incorporating play-based, child-led, sensory-focused, and behavioral based strategies and techniques.
