In this episode, Jackie is joined by Mikayla Heaton (OT) and Dayna Chea (OT) for a deep dive into mealtimes and feeding.
Building on the conversation from Episode 14 with Mikayla, Dayna, and Caitlin, they discuss key areas to assess when approaching feeding goals, intervention strategies and approaches such as the sequential oral sensory (SOS) approach to feeding, as well as referral pathways for eating disorders.
They also discuss why OTs may sometimes shy away from feeding goals and their scope in this area.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture. As we support children and families, we are inspired by the wisdom and care that First Nations peoples have shown for generations.
