Supporting Early Infant Feeding in the NICU is organized by American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

Dates: 5/24/2019 to 5/24/2024

Accreditation:
ASHA CEUs: 0.2
PDH: 2.0

Description:
To support infants in the NICU setting and maximize oral feeding outcomes for these babies, SLPs need to consider the maturational status of premature infants, medical conditions of ill newborns, and positive and negative experiences in the NICU. This webinar will address the maturation of the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal phases of swallowing, which directly affect safety and efficiency, as well as medical conditions that increase an infant’s risk of feeding disorders. We will explore evidence-based interventions designed to improve feeding experiences, taking into account maturational and medical status, and discuss the concept of homeostasis and its importance in the NICU.

Contents:
• Introduction/Overview - 7 min.
