Feeding Challenges

We all know at least one child that fits this description: "Only eats chicken nuggets, French fries, mac-n-cheese and cheese puffs." While this can be distressing for any parent, knowing how to support a family who has a child with feeding challenges, whether it be from diagnosed feeding disorders or picky eaters, is a situation that early interventionists frequently encounter. Take a look at some of these resources to expand your knowledge:

Kaleidoscope: New Perspectives in Service Coordination, Levels I and II are required professional development trainings for all new service coordinators (although all are invited!) Trainings are held twice per year in cadres (KI and KII occurring in same location, one month apart) so that service coordinators have the opportunity to learn with each other for both Kaleidoscope sessions. Spring Kaleidoscope sessions take place in the Valley region during March (KI)/April (KII). Fall Kaleidoscope sessions are scheduled in the Richmond region during September (KI)/ October (KII).
 
Check out the training calendar to locate information and training dates for the next KI and KII. 


 TALKS ON TUESDAYS

Talks on Tuesdays (ToTs) are one-hour webinars designed to provide free online training opportunities related to important topics in early intervention. Topics chosen for the Talks on Tuesdays webinar series are based on feedback from EI practitioners about what they need to know more about! ToTs are held on the first Tuesday of the month from 12:00-1:00PM.
