Summary of course:

Feeding skills rely upon skills across the domains of gross and fine motor skills, oral-motor skills, sensory skills, and emotional/cognitive/self-regulatory skills.  This webinar provides a brief review of these developmental domains.  The task of eating becomes more challenging as the infant ages.  Caregivers should understand that the NICU period provides a foundation for these later transitions.
