This study assessed the clinical indicators and severity of dysphagia in a representative sample children with severe generalized cerebral palsy intellectual disability. A total 166 (85 males, 81 females) Gross Motor Function Classification System Level IV or V IQ<55 were recruited from 54 daycare centres. Mean age was 9 years 4 months (range 2y 1mo–19y 1mo). Clinically apparent presence standardized mealtime observation, Dysphagia Disorders Survey (DDS), scale. Additional measures...

Changes in the swallowing capabilities of adults with cerebral palsy as they age may impact on their health, safety, and well-being.Thirty-two aged between 30 69 years participated in-depth interviews about experiences changes related management mealtimes within last two years. A constant comparative qualitative analysis elucidated experienced.Changes included increased coughing choking, digestive or gastro-oesophageal symptoms, diet modification, loss independence psychosocial consequences....
A closed-ended intensive pediatric swallowing telepractice program was developed and piloted in one patient with Opitz BBB/G Asperger's Syndromes, oropharyngeal dysphagia aerophagia.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine (a) the reliability newly developed measures mealtime duration and (b) their relationship clinical feeding/swallowing performance in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). Method Seventeen self-feeding (9 boys, 8 girls) SCP (age range = 5;1 [years;months] 17;6, Gross Motor Function Classification System I–IV) were assessed during mealtimes using Dysphagia Disorder Survey (DDS; Sheppard, Hochman, & Baer, 2014). Children divided into 2...

Fifty-one cerebral palsied individuals were tested for a complex of primitive cranio-oropharyngeal motor patterns. This study explored the incidence these patterns and their relationship to age, feeding competence, speech intelligibility, therapy progress. The often present in CP all age groups examined but, generally, less numerous longer latency as increased. Adequacy speech, progress, found decrease number shown increased pattern response decreased.
SUMMARY A four‐month‐old infant was treated for dysphagia associated with infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey's disease). Prolonged nutritional support by nasal or gastrostoma intubation; therapeutic oral feeding continued. This approach encouraged the development of skills, infant‐parent bonding and experience satisfactions. The facial skeleton is most frequent site involvement in hyperostosis, a typical component, usually signaled refusal food failure to thrive. RÉSUMÉ Dysphagie et...
