Looking to build your confidence in preparing texture modified liquids for pediatric patients?
Join us for an ASHA Exchange Live webinar that will provide practical strategies for following formula-specific recipes, building wait time into facility workflows, supporting home batch preparation, and using printable recipe resources and IDDSI flow testing guidance.
Learning Objectives
- Explain why temperature and wait time are essential parts of Gelmix preparation, including the importance of mixing Gelmix into warm liquid and allowing the full recipe-specific wait time.
- Identify how to use the new gelmix.com/recipes resources, including printable instructions with photos, formula-specific recipes, IDDSI flow test guidance, and formula-type FAQs.
- Describe practical preparation strategies for facility and home settings, including preparing ahead in facilities, confirming warming methods reach approximately 100°F, and using 24-hour batch preparation at home when appropriate.
- Recognize when IDDSI flow testing is recommended, especially when starting a new recipe, changing formulas or preparation methods, adjusting serving temperature, or verifying consistency.
