Abstract
In an outpatient pediatric clinic, the multidisciplinary team frequently works with the child to promote oral intake. Assessments and questionnaires were utilized to identify challenges faced by the client ability to properly intake food. The OT was approached by the child’s family to help meet their feeding goals to make mealtime more enjoyable. As the OT is generally not involved in the act of proper weaning technique, they are interested in what steps they can take to provide the family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills.family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills.family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills.family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills. family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills.family with support and to develop subsequent feeding skills.
