By means of this degree, you will identify the updated mechanisms of intervention to favor the adequate nutrition of patients suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder"

Dysphagia or Atypical Swallowing are some of the most common orofacial pathologies in people suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder or Infantile Cerebral Palsy. Their condition negatively affects their nutrition, since they are unable to consume certain foods or to digest them properly. For this reason, scientific advances have focused on designing a series of nutritional guidelines to optimize their nutritional processes, which the specialist is obliged to detect in order to ensure their professional updating. 

Faced with this situation. TECH has designed this program, which will enable the student to learn about the most recent advances in relation to the management of Orofacial and Feeding Disorders in patients with ASD and ICP. During 6 months of intensive learning, you will delve into the latest Speech Therapy Intervention Techniques that favor the management of orofacial diseases or identify cutting-edge feeding strategies with people suffering from Autism. Likewise, it will establish the most sophisticated texturizing mechanisms to preserve proper nutrition for young people with ICH and Dysphagia.
