Hello!
Working in pediatric feeding and dysphagia requires that we keep learning and evolving as feeding therapists.I often think about how the field has changed over my time practicing which is over 30 years now. The field has changed and I have evolved as a feeding therapist!
I wanted to tell you about 2 upcoming webinars that I plan on attending this month (Please note- I am not associated or affiliated with either of these programs). Krisi

Pediatric dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, affects children ages 3 to 17 in the United States. While there are four phases of the physiologic swallow, clinicians frequently evaluate and manage symptoms associated with the oropharyngeal and esophageal phases.
There are numerous possible diagnoses that may contribute to dysphagia and its sequelae, and therefore effectively navigating the investigative process can be challenging.
The development of new diagnostic techniques have shown to be beneficial in recognizing underlying pathophysiology, in addition to identifying new diagnoses.
Current Concepts in Pediatric Dysphagia: Oropharyngeal, Esophageal and the Extremes aims to provide a detailed discussion on the novel diagnostic techniques and therapeutic management of these disorders, including supragastric belching and retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction.
