SESSION DESCRIPTION
This session will familiarize the audience with current treatment approaches for upper airway obstruction and feeding problems. We will also present recent evidence on the effectiveness of a functional treatment approach centered around a modified palatal plate that opens the airway and allows infants to breathe freely and gain weight normally while fed by mouth.
