Overall, I felt this course was a bit too technical and not the best for a "beginner" course on feeding. Yes it did explain anatomy and physiology of feeding structures, but I felt it did not really help emphasize the importance of feeding therapy in a more practical manner with specific application to patients. I think a less detailed description of anatomy and more information about specific application to case studies would have been more helpful.

Very knowledgeable and skilled therapist with tons of good information but too much information , in my opinion , to try to cover in such a limited time. Would be great to be broken down into sections with , anatomy &Physiology , tools and techniques and then case studies. Very impressive OT !

The information in this course is dense, but definitely worth spending time to study. It is extremely helpful to have muscle and nerve innervations broken down. It is also helpful that a parallel was drawn to how dysfunction of a muscle might present in a client.

Love how she explains everything in simple anatomy but breaks down the phases. As someone entering the feeding world I also love how she explains he application of scope and practice with qualifications needed to take intervention further. She has such an approach to using all disciplines and looking into the entirety of feeding. I truly appreciate the comparison of infant-adolescent-adult because that is something I believe can be helpful for parents to understand.

This is a very good course, and the presenter is wonderful! However, her difference in pronouncing several words from the way I was taught is distracting. “Phar-nicks” instead of “phar-rinks”, “lar-nicks” instead of “lar-rinks”, and “frenum” rather than “frenulum”.

by

I felt this course provided a very good glossary of terms and overview of anatomy and physiology relevant to feeding. Also, examples of tools to support intervention. The charts to help assess what various types of feeding dysfunction might indicate will serve as useful references to me in the future. I, also, valued the information on how respiration and airflow restrictions may result in compensatory patterns that impact oral development and feeding skills.
