-
Who can take this course? What about the other courses you offer?
At this time, I am accepting occupational therapists, occupational therapist assistants, occupational therapy students, occupational therapist assistant students, and speech therapists / speech-language pathologists into the 24 Hour Feeding Therapist CEU Course and Feeding Masterclass.
Materials were prepared with occupational therapy practitioners in mind and are presented from that perspective.
-
Will I be a certified feeding therapist?
You will receive a certificate of completion verifying the 24 CEU contact hours to complete this course and will be able to include feeding therapy training on your resume and qualifications.
However, completing the 24 Hour Feeding Therapist CEU course does not automatically result in certification. We are in the process of developing a post CEU certification application process for therapists wishing to pursue certification as a feeding specialist.
-
Do you have any other courses or materials that support this course?
Yes! This course pairs well with my books and Feeding Masterclass.
I have two books currently: ‘Beginners Guide to Oral Motor Treatment’ and ‘UnPicky Eaters Workbook’. Both will help in your feeding journey, but the ‘Beginners Guide to Oral Motor Treatment’ pairs particularly well with this course and is designed with new grads and OT practitioners / clinicians in mind. You can learn more and find a link to purchase it here.
The Feeding Masterclass is a small group coaching class that typically meets for 1 hour, 1 time a week, over a period of about 8 weeks. It is offered a few times throughout the year. You can learn more or sign up by going here and reading the next FAQ.

What is the difference between the 24 Hour Feeding Therapist Course and the Feeding Masterclass?
The 24 Hour Feeding Therapist Course is a comprehensive course with hand outs a pre-recorded videos that you can take at your own pace.
The Feeding Masterclass is a small group coaching class that typically meets for 1 hour, 1 time a week, over a period of about 8 weeks. It is offered a few times throughout the year and you can learn more or sign up here. You meet with an experienced feeding specialist (Debb) and no more than 10 other therapists to discuss and collaborate on feeding clients on your caseload, ask questions, hone your intervention / evaluation skills, etc. The Feeding Masterclass is best when paired with the 24 Hour Feeding Therapist Course.
-
Who is legally responsible for feeding evaluation and treatment outcomes?
Circle Education or any of its counterparts is not legally responsible for individual practitioner decisions as to what is safe, effective, and best for clients on your caseload. OT services are not being provided within this course. It is up to your own judgment whether or not to use and apply what is in in this course to your own practice and education.
