Strategies for working with children and their families to achieve feeding goals are discussed in this course. Typical feeding development, domain-specific (behavioral, anatomical, sensory) interventions, family-specific solutions, and various ways to explore and play with food are described.

Overview of Flexible/Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
Presented by Molly Sloan, MA, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #10850Level: Introductory1.5 Hours
This course provides the SLP with resources to prove the medical necessity for swallow instrumentation.
