BROOKLYN, NY, UNITED STATES, June 27, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Shema Kolainu - Hear Our Voices, held another successful workshop regarding Oral Motor and Feeding Therapy at Touro College in Manhattan. The workshop was presented by Dina Ezagui, CCC-SLP, a speech pathologist from Brooklyn with over ten years of experience with children who have autism. It was attended by parents, teachers, and speech therapists from all five boroughs. Attendees were shown the different feeding challenges children with autism could have, and were presented with suggestions and demonstrations that can help improve and even overcome those challenges.

Throughout the workshop, Ms. Ezagui answered many questions the audience had. Parents asked personal questions about what their child is experiencing. A mother with a ten year old autistic son indicated that he eats the same textured food and is trying to ease him into a new flavor. Ms. Ezagui assisted her in tips for her to use with her son in the future.
