DAY 1: Your Feeding Tool Kit
9.00am-4.30pm

Upon completing the seminar, participants will be able to:
- Discuss how protective behaviours develop when GI discomfort, sensory processing challenges, and delayed gross and/or fine motor skills impact a child’s willingness to eat
- Teach gentle, basic parenting principles to support the caregiver’s carry-over of the child’s treatment plan
- Implement strategies of responsive feeding in typical feeding development and guide the family to a responsive feeding model upon discharge
- Apply gentle, basic behavioural principles in therapy while respecting a child’s unique sensory system, temperament, and emotions
- Describe how to teach the following skills as they coincide with the developmental process of learning to eat: biting, chewing, swallowing independently, straw and open cup drinking
- Implement a hierarchical method of problem solving to meet functional outcomes
- Understand how to problem solve new challenges with future clients by systematically breaking the task into smaller steps and teaching one step at a time
DAY 2: ARFID: The Anxious Eater

What you will learn
You will walk away with a rich understanding of the steps it takes to take kids from anxious to adventurous, including:
- How anxiety hinders a child’s ability to try new foods
- Why kids get stuck “just licking” or “just kissing” a new food and can’t make progress from there
- Strategies to help the hesitant eater take a bite
- Specific techniques to help the anxious eater manage anxiety
- The relationship between parental anxiety and a child’s anxious behaviours
- The research behind Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
