Breastfeeding/chestfeeding is a highly embodied and sensory experience. Neurodivergent individuals may present with sensory processing challenges and experience significant barriers to achieving their feeding goals. This presentation will include an interactive discussion on how providers in the lactation space can support for neurodiverse families, including clinical and operational strategies for meeting the needs of this population.  

Learning Objectives: 

• Recognize at least 2 diagnoses that are classified under the neurodivergent umbrella.
• Identify 2 barriers that a person with sensory processing challenges may experience when carrying out a feeding plan.
• Identify 2 areas of process improvement in your practice that can help screen the patient appropriately and accommodate the sensory needs of your dyad.
