Problems in feeding are frequently encountered with infants and preschoolers who have handicaps. Their handicaps may affect one or more aspects of the total feeding process, such as sucking, biting, chewing, or swallowing. Since eating is necessary for survival, their handicaps influence their health status. The feeding process and nutritional needs of these children must be assessed, and any problems must be remediated. In a hospital or clinic, the speech-language pathologist and dietitian combine their expertise to address feeding problems. Their coordinated efforts can help solve feeding problems and fulfill nutritional needs of handicapped infants and preschoolers.
