Meal Time Assistants Course
Assisting and feeding children with cerebral palsy
Led by Yolanda Broek MRCSLT Bobath Tutor

Who is the course for?
This course is for meal time assistants working with children with cerebral palsy who have eating and drinking difficulties.

What and how will you learn?
The course has a practical focus.  Basic safety issues will be addressed in relation to positioning and handling of children with eating and drinking difficulties and feeding techniques will be practised.

There will be a demonstration and opportunity to discuss many issues relating to eating and drinking difficulties in schools. 

We will explore factors contributing to and discuss health issues related to long term feeding difficulties in children with cerebral palsy.

The sessions will be illustrated with the use of dvds and accompanied by comprehensive literature.

Moving and Handling Statement:
It is essential to have an awareness of the current safety issues relating to 'moving and handling' and where possible a working knowledge of the current legislation.

Please note:
This course is designed to improve safety awareness in relation to eating and drinking and does not qualify the participant to act as an adviser on the topic.
