Feeding Children – Success is in the Details Self-Study

Who would benefit from this program?

Anyone wanting to go beyond the basic what, when where, how much and whether of the basics of Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding. This course delivers a wealth of practical information that clinicians, early childhood educators, physicians, and other health professionals can use in primary and some secondary settings – or centers that help parents feed their children with limited intervention, short classes or well checks. Examples of these might include:

• WIC and Head Start (Early Childhood) clinicians and educators who spend time directly with families for nutrition and health care visits, assessments, etc.
• Dietitians, nutritionists, nurses, speech language therapists and other clinicians in outpatient primary or limited secondary care settings; with brief or limited assessment and follow-up visits - where you might work with a family for one to three visits
