Welcome 2015!

January 25, 2015 by Krisi Brackett 1 Comment

 Welcome to pediatric feeding news in 2015! I hope everyone had a happy and baby

restful holiday although I am sure we are all back to work in full swing now.

I am busy planing this year’s posts and guest contributors, please let me know if  

there are topics you would like to see addressed.

 

I also plan to post links to all of my past Pediatric Feeding and Dysphagia Newsletters at no charge. They are getting older and while much of the information is still valid, we all know how quickly techniques, medicines, formulas, etc change in this field. So please keep that in mild if reading an older newsletter edition.

 

I am also in the planning stages for my 2015 feeding workshops on using a medical, motor, and behavior approach to feeding. I recently gave a workshop in Greenville, NC to the therapists at Venture Rehab Group which was a lot of fun.Thanks Venture Rehab Group!

I will update the workshop page on the blog soon, as of today, I have confirmed dates for workshops for:

  • Dallas, TX in February (through Motivations)
  • Denver, CO, in May (Professional Pediatric Home Care)
  • Logan, UT in June (through Up to Three)

Motivations, Inc., http://motivationsceu.com/, is working on Summer and Fall dates.

 

I will be giving a 2 hour presentation on Feeding Therapy Techniques for common feeding problems at the NCSHLA (North Carolina Speech, Hearing, and Language Association) at the annual Spring convention, April 23 in Raleigh, NC. http://www.ncshla.org/springCon

 

I will start this year with a few short posts with some updates, news and links. I will keep everything in separate posts for ease of archiving the topics.

Thanks for reading!

Krisi
