TARZANA, CA, April 15, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (CARD) is hosting a Pill Swallowing Workshop on Saturday, May 02, 2009 in Tarzana, California for parents who find it difficult to get their children to swallow oral medication.
Like anything else, administering oral medications when a child is not feeling well or has a disorder can be difficult. However, getting and teaching your child to swallow oral medications are behaviors that can be learned.
"This workshop will discuss how to use principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to teach children to swallow oral medications. We will talk about effective procedures to teach successful tablet and capsule swallowing, as well as cough syrup," says workshop instructor Taira Lanagan, MA, BCBA. "Teaching these skills can be important in order to make sure your child is receiving all his/her nutritional needs to keep him/her healthy."
The workshop will also cover environmental variables that can be changed to facilitate successful pill swallowing.
The Pill Swallowing workshop, which starts at 1:00pm, will be held at 19019 Ventura Blvd, Ste 300 in Tarzana, California. The two hour workshop costs $10 per person and $15 per couple.
