Occupational Therapy practitioners are seeing a growing number of referrals for feeding disorders. This presentation will provide strategies for evaluation and treatment that can be applied across practice settings, primarily focusing on implementation in the outpatient clinic and schools. Participants will identify common causes of feeding disorders. Treatment strategies will include sensory, motor, and behavioral interventions. The presentation will offer a unique opportunity to discuss sibling and peer supported interventions, which maximize success in the home and school cafeteria. Participants will identify clients that will benefit from group interventions or a mixed-methods approach, utilizing individual and group opportunities. Finally, methods for successfully and safely transitioning feeding intervention to virtual implementation will be shared. The presentation will include case studies and videos. February 16, 2021
