Feeding and Swallowing Disorders in Infancy: Assessment and Management

Evaluate and treat children up to 1 year old with sucking, swallowing, or breathing disorders.  This research-based text addresses a team approach and covers diagnosis, assessment, and practical and logical techniques for intervention.  The distinction of this book is in its descriptions of feeding impairments and their therapy.  Its information is specific: examples of individual infants and well-detailed problem-driven models and treatment strategies are included.  The information is reinforced by illustrations, lists, and classification.  Therapists and all clinicians who deal with feeding-impaired infants will be helped by this book.
