International Journal of Eating Disorders, 48(5), 464470. Oralmotor treatments range from passive (e.g., tapping, stroking, and vibration) to active (e.g., range-of-motion activities, resistance exercises, or chewing and swallowing exercises). Thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS) is a sensory technique whereby stimulation is provided to the anterior faucial pillars to speed up the pharyngeal swallow. -Group II (thermal tactile stimulation treatment program): Comprised 25 patients who received thermal tactile stimulation daily three times, each of 20 minutes For infants, pacing can be accomplished by limiting the number of consecutive sucks. 0000023230 00000 n Members of the dysphagia team may vary across settings. Thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS) is a sensory technique whereby stimulation is provided to the anterior faucial pillars to speed up the pharyngeal swallow. 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. 0000001861 00000 n The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 228,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students. (1998). The assessment of bottle-feeding includes an evaluation of the, The assessment of spoon-feeding includes an evaluation of the optimal spoon type and the infants ability to, In addition to the areas of assessment noted above, the evaluation for toddlers (ages 13 years) and preschool/school-age children (ages 321 years) may include, Evaluation in the school setting includes children/adults from 3 to 21 years of age. Celia Hooper, vice president for professional practices in speech-language pathology (20032005), served as monitoring vice president. (2009). Additional medical and rehabilitation specialists may be included, depending on the type of facility, the professional expertise needed, and the specific population being served. Tactile and thermal hypersensitivity were assessed using von Frey filaments and the tail flick test initially, at 24 h and 48 h after administration. (2017). 0000063512 00000 n If certain practices are contraindicated, the clinician can work with the family to determine alternatives that allow the child to safely participate as fully as possible. 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. scintigraphy (which, in the pediatric population, may also be referred to as radionuclide milk scanning). These cues typically indicate that the infant is disengaging from feeding and communicating the need to stop. Transition times to oral feeding in premature infants with and without apnea. 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. a review of current programs and treatments. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00784-013-1117-x, Eddy, K.

Therapeutic learning is the motor learning process in which target behavior is achieved by utilizing activity-dependent elements and the assistive system. Pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders: General assessment and intervention. Please see AHSAs resource on state instrumental assessment requirements for further details. The participants in the experimental group underwent five consecutive sessions of tactile-thermal stimulation for 30 minutes each time. https://doi.org/10.1002/lary.27070, Webb, A. N., Hao, W., & Hong, P. (2013). International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 139, 110464. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijporl.2020.110464. 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). cal stimulation combined with thermal-tactile stimulation is a better treatment for patients with swallowing disorders af-ter stroke than thermal-tactile stimulation alone. Maneuvers are strategies used to change the timing or strength of movements of swallowing (Logemann, 2000). The clinical evaluation for infants from birth to 1 year of ageincluding those in the NICUincludes an evaluation of prefeeding skills, an assessment of readiness for oral feeding, an evaluation of breastfeeding and bottle-feeding ability, and observations of caregivers feeding the child. . Typical modifications may include thickening thin liquids, softening, cutting/chopping, or pureeing solid foods. SLPs with appropriate training and competence in performing electrical stimulation may provide the intervention. safety while eating in school, including having access to appropriate personnel, food, and procedures to minimize risks of choking and aspiration while eating; adequate nourishment and hydration so that students can attend to and fully access the school curriculum; student health and well-being (e.g., free from aspiration pneumonia or other illnesses related to malnutrition or dehydration) to maximize their attendance and academic ability/achievement at school; and. Examples of maneuvers include the following: Although sometimes referred to as the Masako maneuver, the Masako (or tongue-hold) is considered an exercise, not a maneuver. This question is answered by the childs medical team. facilitating communication between team members, actively consulting with team members, and. These techniques serve to protect the airway and offer safer transit of food and liquid. Responsive feeders attempt to understand and read a childs cues for both hunger and satiety and respect those communication signals in infants, toddlers, and older children. . https://doi.org/10.1002/eat.22350, Erkin, G., Culha, C., Ozel, S., & Kirbiyik, E. G. (2010). (1998). They also provide information about the infants physiologic stability, which underlies the coordination of breathing and swallowing, and they guide the caregiver to intervene to support safe feeding. Time of stimulation 3-5 seconds. 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. determine whether the child will need tube feeding for a short or an extended period of time. MCN: The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing, 41(4), 230236. If choosing to use electrical stimulation in the pediatric population, the primary focus should be on careful patient selection to ensure that electrical stimulation is being used only in situations where there is no possibility of inducing untoward effects. Most NICUs have begun to move away from volume-driven feeding to cue-based feeding (Shaker, 2013a). Pediatrics, 110(3), 517522. SLPs do not diagnose or treat eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder; in the cases where these disorders are suspected, the SLP should refer to the appropriate behavioral health professional. Prevalence of DSM-5 avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder in a pediatric gastroenterology healthcare network. familiar foods of varying consistencies and tastes that are compatible with contrast material (if the facility protocol allows); a specialized seating system from home (including car seat or specialized wheelchair), as warranted and if permitted by the facility; and. 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. A thermal stimulus was applied to the left thenar eminence of the hand, corresponding to dermatome C6. a school psychologist/mental health professional; medical issues common to preterm and medically fragile newborns, medical comorbidities common in the NICU, and. This understanding gives the SLP the necessary knowledge to choose appropriate treatment interventions and provide rationale for their use in the NICU. The SLP or radiology technician typically prepares and presents the barium items, whereas the radiologist records the swallow for visualization and analysis. (2016). 0000090522 00000 n Logemann, J. (2000). 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. Members of the Working Group on Dysphagia in Schools included Emily M. Homer (chair), Sheryl C. Amaral, Joan C. Arvedson, Randy M. Kurjan, Cynthia R. O'Donoghue, Justine Joan Sheppard, and Janet E. Brown (ASHA liaison). Dosage depends on individual factors, including the childs medical status, nutritional needs, and readiness for oral intake. Sensory stimulation may be needed for children with reduced responses, overactive responses, or limited opportunities for sensory experiences. Incidence refers to the number of new cases identified in a specified time period. The Laryngoscope, 128(8), 19521957. Typical feeding practices and positioning should be used during assessment. ; American Psychiatric Association, 2016), ARFID is an eating or a feeding disturbance (e.g., apparent lack of interest in eating or in food, avoidance based on the sensory characteristics of food, concern about aversive consequences of eating), as manifested by persistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional and/or energy needs associated with one (or more) of the following: SLPs may screen or make referrals for ARFID but do not diagnose this disorder. Oralmotor treatments are intended to influence the physiologic underpinnings of the oropharyngeal mechanism to improve its functions. 2), 3237. Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 39, 199213. School-based SLPs play a significant role in the management of feeding and swallowing disorders. Johnson, D. E., & Dole, K. (1999). Clinicians should discuss this with the medical team to determine options, including the temporary removal of the feeding tube and/or use of another means of swallowing assessment. an assessment of current skills and limitations at home and in other day settings. Pediatrics, 108(6), e106. an evaluation of dependence on nutritional supplements to meet dietary needs, an evaluation of independence and the need for supervision and assistance, and. The plan includes a protocol for response in the event of a student health emergency (Homer, 2008). https://www.ada.gov/regs2016/504_nprm.html, Reid, J., Kilpatrick, N., & Reilly, S. (2006). Although feeding, swallowing, and dysphagia are not specifically mentioned in IDEA, the U.S. Department of Education acknowledges that chronic health conditions could deem a student eligible for special education and related services under the disability category Other Health Impairment, if the disorder interferes with the students strength, vitality, or alertness and limits the students ability to access the educational curriculum. 0000057570 00000 n A written referral or order from the treating physician is required for instrumental evaluations such as VFSS or FEES. Adaptive equipment and utensils may be used with children who have feeding problems to foster independence with eating and increase swallow safety by controlling bolus size or achieving the optimal flow rate of liquids. Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 50(8), 625630. In turn, the caregiver can use these cues to optimize feeding by responding to the infants needs in a dynamic fashion at any given moment (Shaker, 2013b). (2010). Anatomical and physiological differences include the following: Chewing matures as the child develops (see, e.g., Gisel, 1988; Le Rvrend et al., 2014; Wilson & Green, 2009). See ASHAs resources on interprofessional education/interprofessional practice (IPE/IPP), and collaboration and teaming. The primary goals of feeding and swallowing intervention for children are to, Consistent with the WHOs (2001) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework, goals are designed to. 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.

Cerebral evoked responses to a 10C cooling pulse were recorded from human scalp at a 29C adapting temperature where primate cold-responding fibers . 0000013318 00000 n Assessment of NS includes an evaluation of the following: The infants communication behaviors during feeding can be used to guide a flexible assessment. Anatomical, functional, physiological and behavioural aspects of the development of mastication in early childhood. The Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 29(1), 8190. Are there behavioral and sensory motor issues that interfere with feeding and swallowing? How can the childs functional abilities be maximized? Electrical stimulation uses an electrical current to stimulate the peripheral nerve. 0000051615 00000 n 0000018013 00000 n 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. Members of the Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia) Committee on Cross-Training included Caryn Easterling, Maureen Lefton-Greif, Paula Sullivan, Nancy Swigert, and Janet Brown (ASHA staff liaison). Careful pulmonary monitoring during a modified barium swallow is essential to help determine the childs endurance over a typical mealtime. Nutricin Hospitalaria, 29(Suppl. https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.108.6.e106, Norris, M. L., Spettigue, W. J., & Katzman, D. K.

Consult with families regarding safety of medical treatments, such as swallowing medication in liquid or pill form, which may be contraindicated by the disorder. Therefore, management of dysphagia may require input of multiple specialists serving on an interprofessional team. 0000016477 00000 n 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. SLPs may collaborate with occupational therapists, considering that motor control for the use of this adaptive equipment is critical. Do these behaviors result in family/caregiver frustration or increased conflict during meals? 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. See ASHAs resource on transitioning youth for information about transition planning. 210.10(m)(1) (2021).
