CASE Post - Conference Workshop
Exciting News! As part of our 8th Annual Conference, Marsha Dunn Klein will be speaking for an extra day to provide a post conference session to provide an over view of the Get Permission Approach to Feeding and more advanced information and case studies related to complex feeding needs and medical issues related to feeding. We will be offering SAOT members a discounted rate for this session.
Marsha Dunn Klein: “Overview and Advanced Topics of the Get Permission Approach to Pediatric Feeding”
Saturday January 23rd: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
“Get Permission” is an approach to mealtimes and feeding treatment which is based on the foundation of trust in a feeding relationship. It supports children who have mealtime challenges in moving forward with mealtime goals of trust, enjoyment and confidence. It follows the child’s lead with many practical, creative and sensitive mealtime and treatment strategies.
Highlights include texture transitions, tube transitions, bridging from trusted foods and utensils to new, and treatment strategies that focus on parent success and child enjoyment and trust.
This workshop is presented to feeding therapists and parents who know children who have medical mealtime challenges. Issues of such as tube feeding, gastroesophageal reflux, allergies and sensitive texture transitions will be the focus. Advanced case studies will be discussed which include complex challenges and factors that affect a child’s return to oral eating.
(Issues specific to autism spectrum will be presented in the conference session on Anxious Eaters, Anxious Mealtimes.)
Marsha has over 44 years experience assessing, treating, and working in partnership with families of children who have cerebral palsy and other neurological issues, prematurity, sensory processing disorders, visual impairments, genetic and metabolic disorders, as well as autism.
SAOT members will recieve a $25 discount on this session. Please indicate this with your SAOT member # on the registration form. Full conference and registration details on Children’s Autism of Edmonton website. http://www.childrensautism.ca/
