Feeding/Swallowing

A starting point for discussing your child’s daily needs with our South Miami clinic.

Clarifying feeding and swallowing needs

Food preferences, mealtime participation, and swallowing safety are different concerns. Explain the issue to your child’s medical team and ask the clinic about the appropriate type of assessment.

Questions to bring to your conversation

  • Is the concern about participation, chewing, or swallowing?
  • Are there existing medical recommendations or precautions?
  • Which provider should coordinate the next assessment?
