The workshop, entitled "The Child with Feeding Averion-Impact of Gastrointestinal Discomfort," will be presented by Suzanne Evans Morris, PhD.

This workshop will enable the participant to

• describe the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system.
• identify ways in which gastrointestinal comfort and discomfort impact a child’s desire to eat.
• identify multiple reasons why children with gastrointestinal discomfort are often reluctant eaters who experience delays in their development of feeding and mealtime skills
• describe therapeutic strategies that support mealtime comfort and feeding skill development for this group of infants and children.
• create a positive mealtime journey that will build inner-ddirected eating and drinking skills.
