ausEE’s Allied Health Professions Day Spotlight
Today is Allied Health Professions Day (14 October 2022). Please join us in celebrating and thanking AHPs who include dietitians, occupational therapists, psychologists and speech pathologists for the valuable work they do.
We are putting the spotlight on psychologists, Jessica Gowans, Tessa Taylor, PhD, BCBA-D and Dr. Sarah Leadley, who kindly volunteered their time to provide information videos that ausEE shared as part of this year’s Feeding Tube Awareness Week ‘Virtual Education Program’.
Psychologists, Dr Tessa Taylor and Dr Sarah Leadley presented their research on childhood feeding difficulties and experience with home-based interventions in Australia and New Zealand to help children with tube dependence learn to eat new foods and progress with feeding skills.
Jessica Gowans, a psychologist and tubie parent shared tips, information and resources on how to look after yourself as a tubie parent/carer.
