Sensory-Based Feeding: Part 2—How to Overcome Visual, Auditory, Olfactory, and Gustatory Factors Impacting Feeding
Eating can be a challenging task for children with sensory processing difficulties and tweezing out the areas of need can be just as challenging for therapists and parents! This 2-hour webinar allows you to pinpoint how visual, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory factors can impact feeding. Tips and tricks on implementing practical strategies to address each of these areas are included, so children on your caseload start improving right away. This class includes case studies and a Q&A period.

- Choose specific cups that help ease transition from bottle to cup.
- Distinguish between signs indicating a child is sensitive to smells vs. flavors and how to improve the tolerance of new smells and flavors.

- Identify how your volume and cadence of speech helps children who are over- and under-responsive to auditory input have more success at meals.
