Is your baby or child struggling?

All children referred for input regarding their feeding difficulties or dysphagia will undergo a detailed clinical feeding assessment by Analou (SLT) and a specialist paediatric dietitian. If your child is already under the care of a dietitian, the assessment will be done by Analou only.

An appointment will be arranged with the parents, which will allow the professionals to observe a meal time. It is important that the team involved is able to observe how your child feeds. For this purpose the assessment needs to happen at the time the child will be willing to feed. You be will asked to bring your child’s drink and/or food along to the appointment to ensure the clinical assessment is true reflection of meal times in the home environment.

The SLT and dietitian will ask you a range of questions regarding your child’s feeding history, nutritional intake, general development, general health and concerns regarding meal times. It is helpful to bring a video clip of a typical meal along to the appointment. This will provide the SLT with additional information regarding your child’s behaviour around meal times at home.

The treatment of feeding difficulties is a complex process and typically involves the implementation of a combination of strategies. These can include: diet modification, development of chewing skills, general feeding behavior modification, management of parental anxiety around meals.

All children are unique and therefore the treatment programme is designed to meet the child and the family’s needs. Reviews can be direct during a clinic visit or indirect via telephone or email, depending on the need of the child. Progress is carefully monitored and the programme adapted to optimize each child’s feeding potential in an efficient and effective manner. All treatment is based on evidence for effectiveness and efficiency.
