237: Pediatric Feeding Disorder and Pediatric Dysphagia: Diagnosis, Clinical Case Studies, and IPP

In this episode, Michelle and Erin are back to discuss pediatric feeding disorder clinical case studies for “Dysphagia Awareness Month." With the addition of the new ICD-10 codes for Pediatric Feeding Disorder, there have been questions on the role and responsibilities of the SLP in diagnosing a PFD and how pediatric dysphagia fits into the diagnostic criteria. Michelle and Erin share resources to answer this question and how to guide allied health and medical health partners in their roles for PFD and pediatric dysphagia diagnoses too. The ladies of “First Bite” then transition to case studies that discuss strategies for intervention and how to engage in the interprofessional practice for optimal patient outcomes for little ones with pediatric dysphagia and PFD.
