Love or Logic: Effective Counseling Methods for Pediatric Feeding Disorders

 
The newly proposed definition of a Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) incorporates the negative psychosocial effects that exist when there is an interruption of the child-caregiver interaction that is associated with the deficits, which occur when a child is unable to thrive. In this course, you will learn two evidenced-based methods for providing effective counseling for both increased buy-in and ultimately, improved outcomes in your practice of therapy. Both methods will provide the learner with specific verbiage with which to implement the very next day!
