Integrated Treatment Of Feeding, Speech, And Mouth Functions In Pediatrics (8:00 am)
Company: Ages and Stages, LLC
Date: September 24 & 25, 2010
Location: Alpharetta, Georgia
Instructor: Diane Bahr, MS, CCC-CLP, CIMI

Event Description: Finally, a course that is equally valuable for occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and others. This workshop helps therapists choose appropriate treatment techniques for pediatric clients with a variety of disabilities (e.g. pre-maturity, autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy). It is particularly helpful for occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists who work on teams and need to divide responsibility when addressing feeding, eating, drinking, oral hygiene, orofacial myofunctional, functional speech and motor planning concerns. Many of the techniques learned by participants are "good practices" that can be safely taught to care providers. Group interactive experiences and DVD demonstrations provide opportunities for clinical problem solving.

Price: $325 (Early) Includes a copy of Diane Bahr's new book, workbook, materials and supplies for hands-on training. 15 Hours.
