In a continuing effort to educate our community, Paris Regional Medical Center invites all those who have or work with children to a special training session on Thursday, August 22, to learn more about children’s eating and feeding problems and how to change them.
Rachell Harris, a certified speech pathologist at PRMC, will present information regarding children’s eating problems that start with infancy and follow them into adulthood, affecting their weight, growth and social skills.
Harris will provide information that can help you change these eating habits. Participants will have the opportunity to know more about:
- Children at risk for swallowing and feeding difficulties
- Techniques to improve a child’s swallow and feeding issues
- Ways to make mealtimes more relaxing and fun
- Signs of swallowing difficulties when eating
PRMC asks that reservations be made by Tuesday, August 20. Child care will not be provided. To make a reservation, email carolyn.hicks@parismc.com or call 903.737.3394 and leave your name and phone number.
The training will be held at PRMC’s Lewis Hall, 865 Deshong Drive, on Thursday, August 22, from 5:30-7 p.m. A light dinner will be provided.
