Some eating habits that appear to be a sign or symptom of a feeding disorder (e.g., avoiding certain foods or refusing to eat in front of others) may, in fact, be related to cultural differences in meal habits or may be symptoms of an eating disorder (National Eating Disorders Association, n.d.). However, relatively few studies have examined the effects of non-noxious thermal stimulation on tactile discriminative capacity. skill development for eating and drinking efficiently during meals and snack times so that students can complete these activities with their peers safely and in a timely manner. The prevalence of pediatric voice and swallowing problems in the United States. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) should be aware of these precautions and consult, as appropriate, with their facility to develop guidelines for using thickened liquids with infants. Lateral views of infant head, toddler head, and older child head showing structures involved in swallowing. Protocols for determining readiness for oral feeding and specific criteria for initiating feeding vary across facilities. Responsive feeding emphasizes communication rather than volume and may be used with infants, toddlers, and older children, unlike cue-based feeding that focuses on infants.

Pediatric swallowing and feeding: Assessment and management. If choosing to use electrical stimulation in the pediatric population, the primary focus should be on careful patient selection to ensure that electrical stimulation is being used only in situations where there is no possibility of inducing untoward effects. ARFID rates are estimated to be as high as 5% in the general pediatric population and 1.5%13.8% in children between the ages of 8 and 18 years with suspected gastrointestinal problems or eating disorders (Eddy et al., 2015; Fisher et al., 2014; Norris et al., 2016). 0000016477 00000 n Warning signs and symptoms. Cue-based feedingrelies on cues from the infant, such as lack of active sucking, passivity, pushing the nipple away, or a weak suck. (Note: Lip closure is not required for infant feeding because the tongue typically seals the anterior opening of the oral cavity.). Thermal tactile oral stimulation (TTOS) is an established method to treat patients with neurogenic dysphagia especially if caused by sensory deficits. Manikam, R., & Perman, J. Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 30(1), 3446. American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. As indicated in the ASHA Code of Ethics (ASHA, 2016a), SLPs who serve a pediatric population should be educated and appropriately trained to do so. In all cases, the SLP must have an accurate understanding of the physiologic mechanism behind the feeding problems seen in this population. Among children with communication disorders aged 310 years, the prevalence of swallowing problems is 4.3%. The clinical evaluation for infants from birth to 1 year of ageincluding those in the NICUincludes an evaluation of prefeeding skills, an assessment of readiness for oral feeding, an evaluation of breastfeeding and bottle-feeding ability, and observations of caregivers feeding the child. Logemann, J. 0000090091 00000 n Examples of maneuvers include the following: Although sometimes referred to as the Masako maneuver, the Masako (or tongue-hold) is considered an exercise, not a maneuver. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpeds.2012.03.054. The NICU is considered an advanced practice area, and inexperienced SLPs should be aware that additional training and competencies may be necessary. determine whether the child will need tube feeding for a short or an extended period of time. As the child matures, the intraoral space increases as the mandible grows down and forward, and the oral cavity elongates in the vertical dimension.

They also provide information about the infants physiologic stability, which underlies the coordination of breathing and swallowing, and they guide the caregiver to intervene to support safe feeding. The health and well-being of the child is the primary concern in treating pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders. International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 77(5), 635646. The primary goals of feeding and swallowing intervention for children are to, Consistent with the WHOs (2001) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework, goals are designed to. See the Service Delivery section of the Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Evidence Map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspective. (2017). Diet modifications consist of altering the viscosity, texture, temperature, portion size, or taste of a food or liquid to facilitate safety and ease of swallowing. Accommodating children with disabilities in the school meal programs: Guidance for school food service professionals. Oralmotor treatments include stimulation toor actions ofthe lips, jaw, tongue, soft palate, pharynx, larynx, and respiratory muscles. Apnea is strongly correlated with longer transition time to full oral feeding (Mandich et al., 1996).

When the quality of feeding takes priority over the quantity ingested, the infant can set the pace of feeding and have more opportunity to enjoy the experience of feeding. Sensory stimulation may be needed for children with reduced responses, overactive responses, or limited opportunities for sensory experiences. The SLP plays a critical role in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), supporting and educating parents and other caregivers to understand and respond accordingly to the infants communication during feeding.
