(2014). an assessment of sucking/swallowing problems and a determination of abnormal anatomy and/or physiology that might be associated with these findings (e.g., Francis et al., 2015; Webb et al., 2013); a determination of oral feeding readiness; an assessment of the infants ability to engage in non-nutritive sucking (NNS); developmentally appropriate clinical assessments of feeding and swallowing behavior (nutritive sucking [NS]), as appropriate; an identification of additional disorders that may have an impact on feeding and swallowing; a determination of the optimal feeding method; an assessment of the duration of mealtime experience, including potential effects on oxygenation (SLP may refer to the medical team, as necessary); an assessment of issues related to fatigue and volume limitations; an assessment of the effectiveness of parent/caregiver and infant interactions for feeding and communication; and. an assessment of current skills and limitations at home and in other day settings. For the child who is able to understand, the clinician explains the procedure, the purpose of the procedure, and the test environment in a developmentally appropriate manner. Oralmotor treatments include stimulation toor actions ofthe lips, jaw, tongue, soft palate, pharynx, larynx, and respiratory muscles. Dosage refers to the frequency, intensity, and duration of service. SLPs conduct assessments in a manner that is sensitive and responsive to the familys cultural background, religious beliefs, dietary beliefs/practices/habits, history of disordered eating behaviors, and preferences for medical intervention. See, for example, Manikam and Perman (2000). facilitate the individuals activities and participation by promoting safe, efficient feeding; capitalize on strengths and address weaknesses related to underlying structures and functions that affect feeding and swallowing; modify contextual factors that serve as barriers and enhance those that facilitate successful feeding and swallowing, including the development and use of appropriate feeding methods and techniques; and. (2015). As the child matures, the intraoral space increases as the mandible grows down and forward, and the oral cavity elongates in the vertical dimension. Dysphagia, 33(1), 7682.

Additional medical and rehabilitation specialists may be included, depending on the type of facility, the professional expertise needed, and the specific population being served. Although thermal perception is a haptic modality, it has received scant attention possibly because humans process thermal properties of objects slower than other tactile properties. The ASHA Leader, 18(2), 4247. (1998). A feeding and swallowing plan may include but not be limited to. The effect of tongue-tie division on breastfeeding and speech articulation: A systematic review.

Feeding readiness in NICUs may be a unilateral decision on the part of the neonatologist or a collaborative process involving the SLP, neonatologist, and nursing staff. Postural/position techniques redirect the movement of the bolus in the oral cavity and pharynx and modify pharyngeal dimensions. https://doi.org/10.1177/1053815118789396, Shaker, C. S. (2013a). This method . Logemann, J. Prevalence refers to the number of children who are living with feeding and swallowing problems in a given time period. Protocols for determining readiness for oral feeding and specific criteria for initiating feeding vary across facilities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), survey interviews indicated that within the past 12 months, 0.9% of children (approximately 569,000) ages 317 years are reported to have swallowing problems (Bhattacharyya, 2015; Black et al., 2015).

The prevalence of pediatric voice and swallowing problems in the United States. Infants cannot verbally describe their symptoms, and children with reduced communication skills may not be able to adequately do so. . Postural changes differ between infants and older children. For children with complex feeding problems, an interdisciplinary team approach is essential for individualized treatment (McComish et al., 2016). The space between the tongue and the palate increases, and the larynx and the hyoid bone lower, elongating and enlarging the pharynx (Logemann, 1998). Thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS) is a sensory technique whereby stimulation is provided to the anterior faucial pillars to speed up the pharyngeal swallow. The pharyngeal muscles are stimulated through neural pathways. Infants and Young Children, 8(2), 58-64. Anxiety and crying may be expected reactions to any instrumental procedure. aspiration pneumonia and/or compromised pulmonary status; gastrointestinal complications, such as motility disorders, constipation, and diarrhea; rumination disorder (unintentional and reflexive regurgitation of undigested food that may involve re-chewing and re-swallowing of the food); an ongoing need for enteral (gastrointestinal) or parenteral (intravenous) nutrition; psychosocial effects on the child and their family; and. Clinicians working in the NICU should be aware of the multidisciplinary nature of this practice area, the variables that influence infant feeding, and the process for developing appropriate treatment plans in this setting.
