What School-Based Speech-Language Pathologists Need to Know About Pediatric Swallowing and Feeding Development and Disorders.

The aim of this tutorial is to support school-based speech-language pathologists in their understanding of the anatomy and physiology of feeding and swallowing. School-based speech-language pathologists should complete this tutorial with an increased understanding and breadth of knowledge related to typical anatomy and physiology versus atypical or disordered presentations. This tutorial would support school-based speech-language pathologists in determining whether a child presents with characteristics of oropharyngeal dysphagia and/or a PFD.
