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. They may also arise in association with sensory disturbances (e.g., hypersensitivity to textures), stress reactions (e.g., consistent or repetitive gagging), traumatic events increasing anxiety, or undetected pain (e.g., teething, tonsillitis). Assessment and treatment of swallowing and swallowing disorders may require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and universal precautions.

Feeding, swallowing, and dysphagia are not specifically mentioned in IDEA; however, school districts must protect the health and safety of students with disabilities in the schools, including those with feeding and swallowing disorders. The decision to use a VFSS is made with consideration for the childs responsiveness (e.g., acceptance of oral stimulation or tastes on the lips without signs of distress) and the potential for medical complications. Indicators of choking risk in adults with learning disabilities: A questionnaire survey and interview study. Other benefits of KMC include temperature regulation, promotion of breastfeeding, parental empowerment and bonding, stimulation of lactation, and oral stimulation for the promotion of oral feeding ability. A. Diet modifications should consider the nutritional needs of the child to avoid undernutrition and malnutrition. The evaluation process begins with a referral to a team of professionals within the school district who are trained in the identification and treatment of feeding and swallowing disorders. 0000055191 00000 n observations of the caregivers behaviors and ability to read the childs cues as they feed the child.

ASHA extends its gratitude to the following subject matter experts who were involved in the development of the Pediatric Dysphagia page: In addition, ASHA thanks the members of the Ad Hoc Committee on Speech-Language Pathology Practice in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU); Special Interest Division 13, Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia) Committee on Cross-Training; and the Working Group on Dysphagia in Schools, whose work was foundational to the development of this content. The odds of having a feeding problem increase by 25 times in children with autism spectrum disorder compared with children who do not have autism spectrum disorder (Seiverling et al., 2018; Sharp et al., 2013). https://doi.org/10.1002/eat.22350, Erkin, G., Culha, C., Ozel, S., & Kirbiyik, E. G. (2010). Recent clinical practice survey data have supported the fact that clinicians continue to use thermo-tactile stimulation (TTS) as a strategy to stimulate key nerve pathways and evoke a swallow reflex for patients with a delayed or absent swallow reflex.
