Description

Pediatric Dysphagia is designed to be a primary practical resource for professionals involved in making decisions to optimize overall status of infants and children with swallowing and feeding disorders. It is practice-friendly in concise and practical ways, but is not "how-to" in a mechanistic sense. The latest data based evidence provides a rationale for practice profiles, clinical pathways, decision trees, tables, and pros/cons of specific intervention processes. The values of team focused evaluation and intervention will be stressed in ways that are functional, regardless of the nature of the team. Focuses will be on decision making for management of diverse swallowing/feeding problems in pediatrics-evidence based via literature with outcomes, neurodevelopment and neurophysiology, airway/pulmonary system, gastrointestinal issues, and parent/child interactions.. This book will be useful for professionals as they strive to meet the needs of increased number of infants who survive prematurity and demonstrate swallowing and feeding problems. Professionals follow both pre-term and term infants who have cardiac and GI tract surgeries, pulmonary problems, craniofacial and a whole host of genetic syndromes, metabolic conditions, and allergy related feeding/swallowing issues..
