National Center for Health Statistics. Interdisciplinary feeding team: A medical, motor, behavioral approach to complex pediatric feeding problems. SLPs provide assessment and treatment to the student as well as education to parents, teachers, and other professionals who work with the student daily. These techniques may be used prior to or during the swallow. To measure pain thresholds, we applied thermal heat stimuli to the center of the posterior region of the left forearm by means of a thermal stimulator (UDH-105, UNIQUE MEDICAL, Tokyo, Japan). Pro-Ed. 0000037200 00000 n This might involve decisions about whether the individual can safely eat an oral diet that meets nutritional needs, whether that diet needs to be modified in any way, and whether the individual needs compensatory strategies to eat the diet. 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). NNS patterns can typically be evaluated with skilled observation and without the use of instrumental assessment. Setting refers to the location of treatment and varies across the continuum of care (e.g., NICU, intensive care unit, inpatient acute care, outpatient clinic, home, or school). Reading the feeding.

Families are encouraged to bring food and drink common to their household and utensils typically used by the child. SLPs collaborate with mothers, nurses, and lactation consultants prior to assessing breastfeeding skills. Therapeutic learning is the motor learning process in which target behavior is achieved by utilizing activity-dependent elements and the assistive system. Journal of Early Intervention, 40(4), 335346. Additional medical and rehabilitation specialists may be included, depending on the type of facility, the professional expertise needed, and the specific population being served. In the school setting a physicians order or prescription is not required to perform clinical evaluations, modify diets, or to provide intervention. Jennifer Carter of the Carter Swallowing Center, LLC, presents . Positioning for the VFSS depends on the size of the child and their medical condition (Arvedson & Lefton-Greif, 1998; Geyer et al., 1995). Instrumental evaluation is conducted following a clinical evaluation when further information is needed to determine the nature of the swallowing disorder.

Once the infant begins eating pureed food, each swallow is discrete (as opposed to sequential swallows in bottle-fed or breastfed infants), and the oral and pharyngeal phases are similar to those of an adult (although with less elevation of the larynx). Members of the team include, but are not limited to, the following: If the school team determines that a medical assessment, such as a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), sometimes also called fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, or other medical assessment, is required during the students program, the team works with the family to seek medical consultation or referral. ASHA is strongly committed to evidence-based practice and urges members to consider the best available evidence before utilizing any product or technique. determine whether the child will need tube feeding for a short or an extended period of time.

Clinicians may consider the following factors when assessing feeding and swallowing disorders in the pediatric population: As infants and children grow and develop, the absolute and relative size and shape of oral and pharyngeal structures change. The professional roles and activities in speech-language pathology include clinical/educational services (diagnosis, assessment, planning, and treatment); prevention and advocacy; and education, administration, and research. Benfer, K. A., Weir, K. A., Bell, K. L., Ware, R. S., Davies, P. S. W., & Boyd, R. N. (2014). Referrals may be made to dental professionals for assessment and fitting of these devices. Thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS) is a sensory technique whereby stimulation is provided to the anterior faucial pillars to speed up the pharyngeal swallow. receives part or all of their nutrition or hydration via enteral or parenteral tube feeding. Members of the dysphagia team may vary across settings. Staff who work closely with the student should have training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the Heimlich maneuver. The VFSS may be appropriate for a child who is currently NPO or has never eaten by mouth to determine whether the child has a functional swallow and which types of food they can manage. .22 The study protocol had a prior approval by the . Huckabee, M. L., & Pelletier, C. A. If the child is NPO, the clinician allows time for the child to develop the ability to accept and swallow a bolus. Instrumental assessments can help provide specific information about anatomy and physiology otherwise not accessible by noninstrumental evaluation. 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, there are times when a prescription, referral, or medical clearance from the students primary care physician or other health care provider is indicated, such as when the student. Geyer, L. A., McGowan, J. S. (1995). Brian B. Shulman, vice president for professional practices in speech-language pathology, served as the monitoring officer. https://doi.org/10.1002/ddrr.17. Feeding and gastrointestinal problems in children with cerebral palsy. Understanding adult anatomy and physiology of the swallow provides a basis for understanding dysphagia in children, but SLPs require knowledge and skills specific to pediatric populations. 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. The process of identifying the feeding and swallowing needs of students includes a review of the referral, interviews with the family/caregiver and teacher, and an observation of students during snack time or mealtime. Available 8:30 a.m.5:00 p.m. Various items are available in the room to facilitate success and replicate a typical mealtime experience, including preferred foods, familiar food containers, utensil options, and seating options. Methods: Thirty-six subjects were randomized into experimental and control groups. Therefore, a large randomized clinical trial would be beneficial to clearly define the role of NMES in recovery of swallowing ability following a brain injury.

School-based SLPs play a significant role in the management of feeding and swallowing disorders. The school-based SLP and the school team (OT, PT, and school nurse) conduct the evaluation, which includes observation of the student eating a typical meal or snack. Johnson, D. E., & Dole, K. (1999). They also discuss the evaluation process and gather information about the childs medical and health history as well as their eating habits and typical diet at home. It is also important to consider any behavioral and/or sensory components that may influence feeding when exploring the option to begin oral feeding. (2016a). an acceptance of the pacifier, nipple, spoon, and cup; the range and texture of developmentally appropriate foods and liquids tolerated; and, the willingness to participate in mealtime experiences with caregivers, skill maintenance across the feeding opportunity to consider the impact of fatigue on feeding/swallowing safety, impression of airway adequacy and coordination of respiration and swallowing, developmentally appropriate secretion management, which might include frequency and adequacy of spontaneous dry swallowing and the ability to swallow voluntarily, modifications in bolus delivery and/or use of rehabilitative/habilitative or compensatory techniques on the swallow. A. School districts that participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service Program in the schools, known as the National School Lunch Program, must follow regulations [see 7 C.F.R. This paper reviews the method's history and selected data, outlines the theoretical underpinnings of sensory stimulation, reminds readers of what is required to bring a treatment from the laboratory to the clinic, and ends with some notions about the importance of belief and data in rehabilitation. Gisel, E. G. (1988). Sensory stimulation techniques vary and may include thermaltactile stimulation (e.g., using an iced lemon glycerin swab) or tactile stimulation (e.g., using a NUK brush) applied to the tongue or around the mouth. The data below reflect this variability. In addition to determining the type of treatment that is optimal for the child with feeding and swallowing problems, SLPs consider other service delivery variables that may affect treatment outcomes, including format, provider, dosage, and setting. Logemann, J. Consistent with the World Health Organizations (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework (ASHA, 2016a; WHO, 2001), a comprehensive assessment is conducted to identify and describe. Pediatric dysphagia. The SLP also teaches parents and other caregivers to provide positive oral experiences and to recognize and interpret the infants cues during NNS. Assessment of pediatric dysphagia and feeding disorders: Clinical and instrumental approaches. In infants, the tongue fills the oral cavity, and the velum hangs lower. Prevalence of feeding disorders in children with cleft palate only: A retrospective study. If a natural feeding process (e.g., position, caregiver involvement, and use of familiar foods) cannot be achieved, the results may not represent typical swallow function, and the study may need to be terminated, with results interpreted with caution. 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.

When conducting an instrumental evaluation, SLPs should consider the following: Procedures take place in a child-friendly environment with toys, visual distracters, rewards, and a familiar caregiver, if possible and when appropriate. Early introduction of oral feeding in preterm infants. 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. Precautions, accommodations, and adaptations must be considered and implemented as students transition to postsecondary settings. This requires a working knowledge of breastfeeding strategies to facilitate safe and efficient swallowing and optimal nutrition. 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 causes and consequences of dysphagia cross traditional boundaries between professional disciplines. 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. Cerebral evoked responses to a 10C cooling pulse were recorded from human scalp at a 29C adapting temperature where primate cold-responding fibers . 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. 128 48 It is important to consult with the physician to determine when to begin oral feeding for children who have been NPO for an extended time frame. https://doi.org/10.1891/0730-0832.32.6.404, Shaker, C. S. (2013b, February 1). Behavioral interventions include such techniques as antecedent manipulation, shaping, prompting, modeling, stimulus fading, and differential reinforcement of alternate behavior, as well as implementation of basic mealtime principles (e.g., scheduled mealtimes in a neutral atmosphere with no food rewards). Appropriate referrals to medical professionals should be made when anatomical or physiological abnormalities are found during the clinical evaluation. https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2017-0731, Bhattacharyya, N. (2015). Neonatal Network, 32(6), 404408. The two most commonly used instrumental evaluations of swallowing for the pediatric population are. Any communication by the school team to an outside physician, facility, or individual requires signed parental consent. Administration of small amounts of maternal milk into the oral cavity of enteral tubedependent infants improves breastfeeding rates, growth, and immune-protective factors and reduces sepsis (Pados & Fuller, 2020). Thermal tactile oral stimulation (TTOS) is an established method to treat patients with neurogenic dysphagia especially if caused by sensory deficits. The control group was given thermal-tactile stimulation treatment only, while in the experimental group neuromuscular electrical stimulation and thermal-tactile stimulation treatments were applied simultaneously.

According to IDEA, students with disabilities may receive school health and nursing as related services to address safe mealtimes regardless of their special education classification. Underlying disease state(s), chronological and developmental age of the child, social and environmental factors, and psychological and behavioral factors also affect treatment recommendations. Postural changes differ between infants and older children. Alex F. Johnson and Celia Hooper served as monitoring officers (vice presidents for speech-language pathology practices, 20002002 and 20032005, respectively). 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. Cue-based feeding in the NICU: Using the infants communication as a guide. an assessment of behaviors that relate to the childs response to food. SLPs may collaborate with occupational therapists, considering that motor control for the use of this adaptive equipment is critical. (1998).
