This TalkTools course presents a sensory motor approach to feeding therapy for clinicians who work with children who have feeding disorders. Taught by Lori L. Overland, MS, CCC-SLP , C/NDT, CLC, FOM, the class reflects updated research on sensory processing and how it affects feeding, and it carries 1.2 CEUs (12 contact hours) through AOTA. Participants examine the complex issues that surround feeding disorders and learn pre feeding exercises designed to build the motor skills needed for safe, effective, nutritive feeding. The course includes two live evaluations with program plans, plus interactive sensory and feeding practicums so learners can apply what they see rather than just read about it. By the end, participants can identify the developmental stages of feeding skill acquisition, pinpoint individual oral phase deficiencies, and list at least four goals of an SLP administered oral motor feeding program. The sensory motor approach to feeding therapy taught here also explains how improved oral movement benefits children with oral phase feeding deficiencies, giving therapists a rationale they can share with families and care teams. Optional supplies, including a horn, straws, and sensory tips, let self study learners follow along with the same hands on activities used in the live workshop, making the training practical from day one in a busy caseload.
