PURPOSE School-based speech-language pathologists are at the frontline for treating children with pediatric feeding disorders (PFDs). Often, speech-language pathologists are the primary allied health professionals who are charged with maximizing safety, supporting nutrition and neurodevelopmental growth. Due to the increasing need for assessment and treatment of PFDs in schools, it is fundamental that PFDs and dysphagia are detected, differentially diagnosed, and addressed to support developing children. This tutorial addresses the anatomy, physiology, and development of functional feeding and swallowing patterns across the spectrum of childhood for both PFDs and dysphagia. METHOD A clinical expert review of the anatomy, physiology, and development of functional feeding and swallowing patterns in children across the spectrum of childhood will be completed. CONCLUSIONS The aim of this tutorial is to support school-based speech-language pathologists in their understanding of the anatomy and physiology of feeding and swallowing. School-based speech-language pathologists should complete this tutorial with an increased understanding and breadth of knowledge related to typical anatomy and physiology versus atypical or disordered presentations. This tutorial would support school-based speech-language pathologists in determining whether a child presents with characteristics of oropharyngeal dysphagia and/or a PFD.

学校言语病理学家需要了解有关儿科吞咽和喂养发育及疾病的信息。


目的 学校言语病理学家处于治疗儿童喂养障碍 (PFD) 儿童的第一线。通常，言语病理学家是主要的专职医疗专业人员，负责最大限度地提高安全性、支持营养和神经发育生长。由于学校对 PFD 评估和治疗的需求不断增加，因此检测、鉴别诊断并解决 PFD 和吞咽困难对于支持发育中的儿童至关重要。本教程介绍了整个童年时期 PFD 和吞咽困难的功能性喂养和吞咽模式的解剖学、生理学和发展。方法 将完成对整个童年时期儿童的解剖学、生理学以及功能性喂养和吞咽模式发育的临床专家审查。结论 本教程的目的是支持学校言语病理学家理解进食和吞咽的解剖学和生理学。学校的言语病理学家应该在完成本教程时，对典型解剖学和生理学与非典型或无序表现相关的知识有更深入的理解和广度。本教程将支持学校的言语病理学家确定儿童是否表现出口咽性吞咽困难和/或 PFD 的特征。
