Children with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD, autism, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities, often face challenges beyond cognition and behavior. Many also struggle with disordered eating patterns and nutrition-related concerns, including food selectivity, malnutrition, and eating disorders. These issues can impact physical growth, mental health, emotional well-being, and daily functioning.
This 2-hour training is designed specifically for occupational therapists and explores how eating behaviors and nutrition challenges show up in children with neurodevelopmental differences. You learn how these concerns affect development and how OTs can play a key role in screening, assessment, and intervention.
This course highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary, biopsychosocial approach that includes sensory-based strategies, parent and family support, nutritional education, and collaboration with other professionals.
Topics covered include:
By the end of this webinar, participants better understand how to support children with complex eating and nutrition needs and how to collaborate with families and care teams to promote healthier outcomes.
