As pediatric dysphagia has become more known to the public, the need for behavioral interventions has become more significant. This continuing education module will review behavioral aspects of pediatric dysphagia, including etiologies, a team approach to case management, types of food or liquid aversions and their effects, components of the speech-language pathologist’s evaluation of a child with behavioral dysphagia, and different options for determining goals and frequency of treatment. Through case analysis and a case vignette, readers will develop tools for evidence-based intervention strategies that target behavioral aspects of pediatric dysphagia. Follow-up processes after the evaluation or intensive feeding program will also be discussed, as well as common misconceptions about behavioral interventions. This course assumes that participants have a basic understanding of typical feeding development.
