Autism Consortium of Texas June Webinar: Impact of Improving Feeding on General Development for Children with ASD with Dr. Kaitlyn Mosher

June 9, 2023 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

Please join the Autism Consortium of Texas for our June webinar, “Impact of Improving Feeding on General Development for Children with ASD” with Dr. Kaitlyn Mosher on Friday, June 9, at 12pm on Zoom.

Description: A significant number of children with ASD experience feeding difficulties which can impact their health and nutrition along with parent-child interactions, family stress, social interactions, and ability to fully access education. This presentation will highlight research indicating treatment of feeding challenges can have positive impacts across several areas of development. Hypotheses for why this relationship may exist and implications for professionals working with autistic children and their families will be discussed.

About the speaker: Kaitlyn Mosher, PhD, is a pediatric psychologist in the Department of Pediatric Psychology and Neuropsychology and the Comprehensive Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. She is also a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. She provides evidence-based assessment and intervention services for children with feeding difficulties due to medical and developmental complexities, environment, and psychological factors in the intensive day treatment program as part of a transdisciplinary team as well as in multiple outpatient roles. Both her clinical and research interests focus on feeding treatment with children with ASD and other developmental disabilities, the role of parent-child interactions in feeding, and impacts of feeding difficulties on development.
