I am currently working in private practice in the home setting with infants. Often these infants are premature with failure to thrive, brain injury, RSV, GER, etc. I found this very informative. I hope you will form a course on treatment strategies for feeding of premature infants.

the succinct review of a&p of neonatal feeding and swallowing dev & disordrs was also helpful to me in my work with geriatric pts, their families as well as work with young families and the magnitude of what they have already been thru together before coming to me for outpt sp path services. also i love the concept of slps teaching the concept of assigning communicative intent immediately at infant birth affirms my practice of 25 years :)
