Course Description:

Feeding Development: Understanding the Spectrum of Eating in Children is an online course that includes PowerPoint and video teaching by Melanie Potock, MA, CCC-SLP and three health professionals.

Pediatrician Nimali Fernando, MPH, MD joins Melanie to teach Module One: Feeding Development & Strategies to Encourage Adventurous Eating.
