  • More about Infant and Child Feeding and Swallowing: Occupational Therapy Assessment and Intervention

Infant and child feeding and swallowing require motor, sensory, neurological, cardiorespiratory, and gastrointestinal systems. Occupational therapy practitioners are experts in these areas and can provide valuable information and intervention for children with feeding and swallowing problems. This text provides evidence-based information and practical strategies to assess and address these problems.

Publisher: American Occupational Therapy


Infant and child feeding and swallowing are intricate processes that involve the coordinated functioning of multiple systems, including motor, sensory, neurological, cardiorespiratory, and gastrointestinal systems. These processes are highly sensitive to the child's environment and the parent-child feeding relationship. Occupational therapy practitioners possess expertise in motor control, sensory processing, and swallowing function, making them invaluable members of the teams responsible for caring for these children.

In this edition, we have included chapters on premature infants, structural defects, pediatric nutrition, and working with children with autism. These chapters provide comprehensive coverage of various feeding and swallowing challenges faced by infants and children, including those with special needs.

The text is grounded in evidence-based information and offers a comprehensive clinical assessment and intervention framework. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest research findings, the authors provide practical strategies to assess and address complex feeding and swallowing problems in infants and children.

By providing a multidisciplinary approach, this text aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to optimize feeding and swallowing outcomes for infants and children. Whether you are a pediatrician, occupational therapist, speech therapist, or nurse, this book will be a valuable resource for your practice.
