Episode 24: OT Perspectives on Feeding and Assessment and Intervention

In this episode, Jackie is joined by Mikayla Heaton (OT) and Dayna Chea (OT) for a deep dive into mealtimes and feeding. Building on the conversation from Episode 14 with Mikayla, Dayna, and Caitlin, they discuss key areas to assess when approaching feeding goals,  intervention strategies and approaches such as the sequential oral sensory (SOS) approach to feeding, as well as referral pathways for eating disorders. They also discuss why OTs may sometimes shy away from feeding goals and their scope in this area.Be sure to follow us on instagram @pip.cast This podcast is brought to you by Kid Link Occupational Therapy. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria.
