Services include:
- Oral-motor feeding evaluations
- Oral-motor feeding and swallowing therapy
- Caregiver training
- Augmentative/alternative communication systems
- Treatment of children with speech or language delays
Our faculty members also work with the Complex AeroDigestive Evaluation Team (CADET) Clinic to evaluate and care for chronically ill children with complex airway (voice box, windpipe), pulmonary (lung), upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach), sleep, and feeding disorders.
Speech-language pathologists Children's Hospital also provide outpatient videofluoroscopic swallow studies. Please see the Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Disorders Program for more information regarding this service.
