They discuss:
- The role of occupational therapy (OT) when working with families and children with feeding concerns.
- Some common reasons people go to an OT in regards to eating or feeding.
- The definition of nervous system regulation and how that plays into feeding concerns and treatment.
- What an OT might do with a child, or recommend to a family, to help with a child’s nervous system regulation.
- The things that are often misunderstood about feeding problems with children and what Rose wishes parents or other professionals understood.

Rose Langston graduated with her master’s degree from Grand Valley State University in Michigan in 2009. She moved to Raleigh specifically to join the team at Pediatric Possibilities and fulfill her dream of specializing in sensory integration therapy in a clinic that shared her love for kids, passion for ongoing learning, and desire to provide effective therapy in a playful and respectful environment. Throughout her 12 years working in pediatrics, she has had the privilege to receive advanced training in sensory, motor, and feeding areas with the experts in each specialty; but of course has learned just as much from the kids themselves. She lives with her husband and boxer-mix rescue dog, and loves to be outdoors in her free time.
Thank you for inviting Rose Langston, OTR/L to participate in Sunny Side Up nutrition. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate in what she does and articulate with information to parents and professionals with what can be a confusing topic. As therapist owner, of Pediatric Possibilities, I am proud to know Rose have her on our team. She is also an amazing mentor, fun and respectful therapist who provides a safe place for families and children to grow.
We are so grateful that Rose took her time to share her expertise with us and our listeners! She is such a help for so many families! Thank you for your comment and for listening!
