📚 Curriculum Overview

What You Will Learn

A comprehensive, hands-on curriculum covering every dimension of pediatric sensory-motor feeding intervention.

🍼

Typical Feeding Milestones

Developmental milestones and hierarchies in typical feeding — from infancy to early childhood — to benchmark normal growth and identify delays.

🧠

Sensory Systems & Feeding

How taste, touch, smell, sight, and proprioception contribute to feeding behaviours and how sensory integration affects performance.

⚡

Dysfunctional Sensory Motor Skills

How impaired sensory motor skills lead to poor bolus formation, ineffective chewing, and increased aspiration risk.

🫁

Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux

Common causes of GER in children and management strategies — dietary modifications and posture for rehab professionals.

🔍

Comprehensive Clinical Assessment

Evaluating six foundational skills: sensory processing, motor skills, anatomical structure, physiology, cognition, and emotional factors.

🪑

Postural Control & Safe Swallow

The role of postural control and stability in maintaining proper respiration and ensuring a safe swallow during feeding.

👄

Oral Motor Skills

Developing oral motor skills for effective feeding, proper tool use, and efficient bolus management to prevent choking.

🍽️

Texture Progression

Managing pediatric dysphagia through texture progression — from pureed to solid foods — tailored to each child's needs.

🥗

Nutritional Considerations

Addressing nutritional needs of children with feeding difficulties to ensure balanced diets, caloric intake, and healthy development.

💚

Psychosocial Wellbeing

The impact of feeding difficulties on psychological and social wellbeing — family dynamics, self-esteem, and emotional health strategies.

📋

Case Studies & Hands-On Practice

Real-life case studies and practical application of theory to enhance clinical skills and decision-making abilities.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parent Mentoring

Insights into effective parent mentoring strategies to support families and drive successful outcomes at home.
