The Lactation OT
Advanced CEUs for infant feeding and maternal health
Supporting Oral Motor Skills in the Infant: Assessment, Adaptation, and Remediation
7.0 L-CERPs, 0.7 AOTA CEUs, 0.7 ASHA CEUs
"The course was very well organized and thorough. The clinicians clearly have a mastery of the topic and have experience both practicing and teaching/guiding others. I loved that they focused on the research and their own clinical reasoning skills and were able to give clear, logical explanations for their approach to complex treatments. I wish all continuing education courses would provide this level of evidence-based knowledge and experiential insight to practitioners."
Tongue Ties, Breastfeeding, and the Lactation Savvy Therapist
9.0 L-CERPs, 1.1 AOTA CEUs, 1.1 ASHA CEUs
"I have been a practicing OT in pediatrics and the NICU setting for many years and this has been one of the most comprehensive, applicable 'conferences'/ webinars that I have been able to participate in. I would highly recommend it. Thank you!"
Bottle Feeding Skills: Refining Clinical Reasoning for Selection and Use
7.0 L-CERPs, 0.7 AOTA CEUs, 0.7 ASHA CEUs
“I loved all the video examples and moving through the case study at the end of the course. I also appreciated how the instructor address nipple shields - I have not had this in a course before. The demonstration of side lying feeds, paced feedings, and cup drinking were also helpful!"
Bodywork for Better Breastfeeding: Hands-on Modalities to Improve Feeding Readiness and Outcomes
8.0 L-CERPs, 0.8 AOTA CEU
“This course was absolutely fantastic! I thought it was very well organized and easy to follow. I feel more than adequately prepared to incorporate bodywork into my physical therapy sessions with the ability to educate parents as well. The massage videos were a great addition and really helped to improve the learning experience. Overall this course was very well done. It gave me the necessary background information, the why behind massage and bodywork and the treatment/parent education approaches."
