Hallie Bulkin asks speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and feeding therapists what they're missing in supporting families with children who have feeding challenges. The conversation explores gaps in current practice and why vetted guidance matters more than social media advice.
What do you think parents of kids with feeding challenges need from us that like maybe we as a profession, right, SLPs, OTs, feeding therapists, maybe something we're still getting wrong? Like, is there anything that you're like, yeah, we should be doing that instead?
Oh, that's a good one.
That's a good question. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe we've already touched on it.
I don't really know if there's anything that we're doing super, super wrong, but I do think, I mean, this is just something that I've noticed with social media, there's a lot of people out there who've taken a lot of courses and, you know, read a lot of research and, and things like that. And I, I respect that, but vet your sources, I guess, when you're listening and, and learning from people, especially people on Instagram. There's a lot of people who are feeding therapists and, and specialists. So just vet your resources and your information and do a little bit of your own research.
