Cimarron Conference on Communication Disorders

The Oklahoma State University Department of Communication Science and Disorders presents
their annual Cimarron Conference for Communication Disorders (CCCD). Guest speaker
Amanda Foster, M.S., Certified Lactation Counselor, Speech-Language Pathologist/Professor with
SOS Approach to Feeding will be presenting “Pediatric Dysphagia Across the Stages
and Settings.”
Participants will learn to emphasize the crucial understanding that pediatric dysphagia
entails more than just the physical aspect of a child's mouth. It necessitates an
acknowledgment of the child as a whole, recognizing the involvement of multiple individuals
in the care of pediatric dysphagia and the crucial role of the speech pathologist
within that team. Throughout our sessions, our aim is to underscore the significance
of this broader perspective for speech pathologists, including the importance of addressing
oral motor development in pediatric populations, the pivotal role of a speech pathologist
in treating pediatric patients with multiple therapeutic needs, and the profound impact
of oral motor dysphagia across various environments. Additionally, we will delve into
the complexities surrounding billing and treatment approval for dysphagia and pediatric
feeding, specifically within the State of Oklahoma.
