May The Force Be With You
May the Force Be With You
May the Force Be With You is a continuing education webinar that equips occupational therapists and feeding professionals with the knowledge and treatment strategies needed to address the biomechanics of gravity and musculoskeletal force during the first year of infant development. Presented by Tania Stegen-Hanson, OTD, OTR/L, BCP, C/NDT, CEIM, the course examines how coordinated muscle contractions of the ribcage, shoulder girdle, and neck interact with gravity to shape early feeding outcomes, and how clinicians can apply these principles to positioning and treatment decisions. This webinar pairs well with TalkTools' broader CEU course library for clinicians building a pediatric feeding caseload.
Key Benefits
- Understand why chest and ribcage development matters to early feeding success
- Learn how gravity affects weak musculature during the first year of life
- Apply gravity-assisted and gravity-resisted positioning strategies in clinical practice
- Walk away with practical techniques grounded in musculoskeletal principles, ready for immediate use
- Earn 0.1 continuing education units (CEUs) toward occupational therapy licensure (AOTA approval pending)
Ideal for:
- Occupational therapists working in feeding therapy, early intervention, or pediatric settings
- SLPs and feeding therapists addressing early developmental feeding challenges
- Pediatric clinicians treating infants and young children with feeding difficulties in their first year
- Clinicians seeking evidence-based positioning and treatment strategies for infant feeding
- OTs pursuing AOTA-approved continuing education in pediatric feeding and developmental therapy
What's Included
- Access to the recorded webinar presentation
- Musculoskeletal overview (10 minutes)
- Breathing and feeding (10 minutes)
- Postural development milestones in the first year (15 minutes)
- Positioning strategies (10 minutes)
- Additional treatment considerations (15 minutes)
