All children go through periods of poor oral intake and picky eating; however, severe food refusal and selectivity can negatively impact a child’s health and development. Feeding disorders have a variety of presentations that could include total refusal of oral feeding with complete dependence on gastrostomy tube feedings, or a selective diet including only one or two foods a child may eat. Multiple factors may be related to the onset of a feeding disorder including illness, inability to chew and swallow, and behavioral mismanagement during meals. Due to the multiple causal factors and the interaction between these factors, children with severe food refusal and food selectivity present with a host of challenges to assessment and treatment. An interdisciplinary team involving physicians, nurses, nutritionists, speech and occupational therapists, and psychologists is crucial to successfully assess children with feeding disorders. This course presents an interdisciplinary approach necessary to develop and implement effective interventions for children with pediatric feeding disorders.
