Course Description:
The new academic year is upon us! With that time of year, pediatric feeding and swallowing clinical practicums will begin anew for numerous graduate student clinicians across the commonwealth. Unfortunately, their #callifPFD excitement can be met with trepidation by clinical supervisors who feel pressured to continue to meet departmental productivity standards, who have concerns for "letting go" and allowing the student to lead feeding and swallowing sessions, or apprehension due to needing clarification on what the supervision requirements are for this fragile population. If you share these worries, or are considering volunteering your time as a clinical supervisor and work with this population, then this is the course for you! Join SHAV's Dysphagia and Pediatric Feeding Disorder Group as they host Erin S. Clinard, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, CHSE, Coordinator for the Online MSLP Program at James Madison University, passionate clinical educator, and former NICU SLP, as she shares functional strategies to overcome these barriers and more.
