DESCRIPTION: \n\nMcGill School of Communication Sciences and Disorders will
  be hosting a 2-day course by Prof. Joan Arvedson (PhD\, CCC-SLP\, ASHA Fe
 llow). This course will focus on how to problem solve complex swallowing a
 nd feeding issues in infants and children via lecture\, videos\, and case 
 analyses. Targeted strategies will be discussed per evidence from sensorim
 otor learning principles & neural plasticity. Assessment and intervention 
 goals optimize functional outcomes. Problem areas include: airway\; GI tra
 ct (e.g.\, GERD and eosinophilic esophagitis)\; nutrition\; tube feeding &
  weaning\; barriers to successful oral feeding & ways to overcome them\; p
 icky eaters. This event is continuing education eligible.\n\nRegister Here
 \n\nRegistration Deadline: March 1st\, 2017\n\nREGISTRATION FEES INCLUDE:
 \n	Print course materials\, mid-morning and mid-afternoon drinks/snacks and
  certificate of attendance. Lunch is on your own. \n\n \n\nAbout the Speak
 er:\n\nJoan Arvedson\n\nPhD\, CCC-SLP\, BCS-S\, ASHA Fellow\n\n           
 Joan C. Arvedson is internationally renowned for her pioneering research\,
  instruction\, and clinical work in pediatric dysphagia. She is Program Co
 ordinator of Feeding and Swallowing Services at Children’s Hospital of Wis
 consin and Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics\, Medical Co
 llege of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. She received her BS\, MS\, and PhD from Un
 iversity of Wisconsin-Madison. She was awarded Honors of the American Spee
 ch-Language-Hearing Association in 2016\, which is ASHA’s highest distinct
 ion. Her leadership\, clinical acumen\, and research united therapeutic an
 d medical/surgical disciplines. She has three text books in publication\, 
 two self-study publications for continuing education through ASHA Professi
 onal Development\, and has more than 35 peer-reviewed articles and 12 book
  chapters. She has given more than 100 presentations at ASHA conventions\,
  state conventions and national interdisciplinary conferences\, as well as
  international lectures/seminars in 24 countries.\n\n           While dire
 ctor of speech-language pathology and audiology at Children’s Hospital of 
 Buffalo and as coordinator of feeding and swallowing services at Children’
 s Hospital of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, Dr. Arvedson takes a holistic\, compre
 hensive approach to clinical and instrumental assessment and intervention 
 with infants and children.\n\nCourse Objectives:\n\n\n	\n		Apply knowledge of
  airway problems to make management decisions for infants and young childr
 en with oropharyngeal dysphagia\n	\n	\n		Identify and modify barriers to succe
 ssful oral feeding (e.g.\, nutrition\, GI tract\, allergy\, & neurologic c
 onditions)\n	\n	\n		Make assessment and management decisions for infants and c
 hildren with complex underlying etiologies for dysphagia.\n	\n	\n		Utilize str
 ategies for facilitating oral feeding in high-risk infants and children.\n
 	\n	\n		Demonstrate processes for advancing oral feeding in children who are t
 ube feeders.\n	\n	\n		Implement intervention with a range of sensory and behav
 ior based principles with picky eaters.\n	\n\n\nCourse Schedule:\n\nDay 1\n
