Excellent resource!,
By "jenanote" (Salem, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pre-Feeding Skills, Second Edition: A Comprehensive Resource for Mealtime Development (Paperback)
This is an excellent resource that every feeding therapist should own. The authors do not target one pediatric developmental stage but infancy through childhood. They thoroughly review normal anatomy and physiology relating to feeding and swallowing as well as complications and treatment options. The feeding experience is not isolated to anatomy and physiology but recognized as an experience with many psychoemotional and environmental factors.

Fantastic resource!,
By feeding occupational therapist (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pre-Feeding Skills: A Comprehensive Resource for Mealtime Development (Paperback)
This book is so well written, and truly is pretty darn "comprehensive", as the title says. The authors start with normal development, and lead you through the evaluation, goal writing and treatment process in such a coherent way. Many examples of actual children really help illustrate their points. Considering the cost of attending a feeding seminar, the price of this book is a good deal. Only wish I had time to read the book from front-to-back (it is over 600 pages).
