SUMMARY:Untangling Tongue Tie: From Identification to Responsive Care in Feeding
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Carly Veness, CPSP, IBCLC, MSPA\nTongue tie (ankyloglossia) is increasingly recognized as a condition of interest, with ongoing discussion about its impact on feeding and management. As awareness grows, it can be difficult to know what to look for, how tongue tie may impact feeding, and what intervention decisions are best for each child. This presentation will provide a clear, balanced overview of tongue tie across the pediatric feeding journey – from breastfeeding and bottle feeding to solids and swallowing. We’ll explore the latest research, practical ways tongue tie may impact feeding, and the importance of looking at both structure and function in assessment. Participants will learn about commonly used assessment tools, their strengths and limitations, and key considerations in making referral or treatment decisions. Woven throughout will be the Circles to Feeding™ Approach, a responsive feeding therapy model that prioritizes comfort, curiosity, and capability as the foundation for progress. Clinical scenarios will bring these ideas to life, highlighting how professionals and families can work together to identify challenges and support feeding in ways that keep the child’s experience at the heart of care.\n \nImportant Registration Information\nTickets are available for Parent/Caregivers, Students, or Professionals.
