This is part two of our conversation with Prof. Joan Arvedson. In our last episode, we laid the foundation for understanding feeding and swallowing. In this episode, Joan will share her insights on the treatment approaches for infants with feeding and swallowing difficulties, and we explore the essential role that parents play in the therapeutic process.
We also talk about some fundamental principles that we as clinicians should consider—principles that apply not just to the pediatric population, but to adults as well—making this episode valuable for anyone in the field.
