Pediatric dysphagia teams

Pediatric dysphagia teams are specialized groups of healthcare professionals who collaborate to assess and treat swallowing difficulties in children. These teams typically include speech-language pathologists, doctors, dietitians, and sometimes occupational therapists. They work together to identify the causes of swallowing problems, develop personalized treatment plans, and ensure children can eat and swallow safely. The goal is to improve nutrition, reduce risk of choking, and support the child's overall health and development through coordinated, expert care.
