Screening for Pediatric Feeding Disorder: Moving Toward Clinical Practice Standardization
Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) is defined as "impaired oral intake that is not age-appropriate and is associated with medical, nutritional, feeding skill, and psychosocial dysfunction" (Goday et al., 2019, p. 125). Improving standardization in screening methods may allow providers to quickly identify patients at risk for PFD and refer them to a feeding specialist. We are looking for parents of children birth to four years old to complete outcome measures and a survey involving their child's feeding. Children with normal feeding behaviours and those with suspected feeding difficulties are needed.
Who should enroll in this study?
You may participate if:
* You are a parent of children from birth to four years old.
