Pediatric feeding screenings are critical! All pediatric SLPs & OTs should know how to screen, even if you don’t work in ped feeding!
If a child has a speech sound disorder and/or sensory feeding challenges there’s likely an oral motor deficit at play.

The therapist was very interesting and informative regarding general and specific strategies… The parents involvement, and the fact that you give the parent power and individualizing theraapy.
