(2014). Thermal-Tactile Stimulation* (TTS) is utilized by speech-language pathologists to treat dysphagia (disorder of swallowing). These approaches may be considered by the medical team if the childs swallowing safety and efficiency cannot reach a level of adequate function or does not adequately support nutrition and hydration. In addition to the clinical evaluation of infants noted above, breastfeeding assessment typically includes an evaluation of the. 0000089512 00000 n scintigraphy (which, in the pediatric population, may also be referred to as radionuclide milk scanning). Pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders: General assessment and intervention. The NICU is considered an advanced practice area, and inexperienced SLPs should be aware that additional training and competencies may be necessary.

PFD may be associated with oral sensory function (Goday et al., 2019) and can be characterized by one or more of the following behaviors (Arvedson, 2008): Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are the preferred providers of dysphagia services and are integral members of an interprofessional team to diagnose and manage feeding and swallowing disorders. Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 39, 199213. Additional medical and rehabilitation specialists may be included, depending on the type of facility, the professional expertise needed, and the specific population being served. SLPs develop and typically lead the school-based feeding and swallowing team. 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. the caregivers behaviors while feeding their child. 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. Thermal tactile oral stimulation (TTOS) is an established method to treat patients with neurogenic dysphagia especially if caused by sensory deficits. The recommended citation for this Practice Portal page is: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (n.d). 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. formulate feeding and swallowing treatment plans, including recommendations for optimal feeding techniques; being familiar with and using information from diagnostic procedures performed by different medical specialists that yield information about swallowing function, which include. Protocols for determining readiness for oral feeding and specific criteria for initiating feeding vary across facilities. 0000061360 00000 n These techniques may be used prior to or during the swallow. The experimental protocol was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila, Bucharest, Romania (CFF05/01.04.2020), and all . The two most commonly used instrumental evaluations of swallowing for the pediatric population are. Late onset necrotizing enterocolitis in infants following use of a xanthan gum-containing thickening agent. (2010). Pacingmoderating the rate of intake by controlling or titrating the rate of presentation of food or liquid and the time between bites or swallows. A written referral or order from the treating physician is required for instrumental evaluations such as VFSS or FEES. Thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS) is a sensory technique whereby stimulation is provided to the anterior faucial pillars to speed up the pharyngeal swallow. 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). The ASHA Action Center welcomes questions and requests for information from members and non-members. 210.10(m)(1) (2021). discuss the process of establishing a safe feeding plan for the student at school; gather information about the students medical, health, feeding, and swallowing history; identify the current mealtime habits and diet at home; and.

Please see Clinical Evaluation: Schools section below for further details. 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. middle and ring fingers were exposed to the thermal stimulation. Pediatrics, 140(6), e20170731. It may also improve the timing of oral feeding initiation (Simpson et al., 2002), increase rates of majority breastmilk enteral feeds compared to those who receive tube feeding of formula alone (Snyder et al., 2017), and allow for earlier attainment of full enteral feedings (Rodriguez & Caplan, 2015). 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. Le Rvrend, B. J. D., Edelson, L. R., & Loret, C. (2014).
