Wonderful things happen with your help and donations.
Currently, there is limited medical education and research surrounding pediatric feeding issues. As a result, many medical professionals lack the expertise or resources necessary to evaluate and treat these children most effectively. Parents need a comprehensive team of medical professionals who will collaborate to maximize their child’s eating potential and provide support for their family as a whole.
Did you know?
- For some infants and children, feeding is a painful experience.
- The smell, taste, texture, and even presence of food may cause anxiety and food refusal. Often, this is expressed through head-turning, gagging, choking, coughing or vomiting.
- Some children will actually starve themselves to avoid the pain they experience while eating.
- Research shows 25 – 45% of typically developing children will suffer from a feeding issue. The number increases to 33 – 80% in children with developmental disabilities. (Arvedson, 2008; Lefton‐Greif, 2008; Williams, Witherspoon, Kavsac, Patterson, & McBlain, 2006).
