Feeding 2018/2019

Description: This 2 day collaborative workshop is for school-based teams, including a teacher, paraprofessional, occupational therapist, physical therapist and speech therapist, who work with the same 12:1:4 class. Other team members, such as administrators and cluster teachers, are encouraged to attend. This workshop provides a review of the assessment process and treatment strategies for issues related to mealtime for students with multiple disabilities (12:1:4 programs). The components of a school-based feeding program will also be reviewed. Participants will be asked to complete a school-based project implementing strategies and techniques, to a student of your choice, learned throughout the course. Each team will then present this project to the other workshop participants on the second day. This workshop is limited to 10 teams. An accepted team consists of at least 3 professionals of different disciplines from one school. CEUs will be offered to therapists
