| Abstract: |
Purpose: This prologue introduces the forum "Pediatric Feeding Disorder and the School-Based SLP: An Evidence-Based Update for Clinical Practice" and informs the reader of the scope of articles presented. Method: The guest prologue author provides a brief history of pediatric feeding and swallowing services in the public-school setting, including previous forums on swallowing and feeding services in the schools (Logemann & O'Toole, 2000; McNeilly & Sheppard, 2008). The concepts that have been learned since the 2008 forum are shared. The contributing authors in the forum are introduced, and a summary is provided for each of the articles. Conclusions: The articles provide evidence-based information on topics that are uniquely of interest to school-based speech-language pathologists managing pediatric feeding and swallowing in their districts. The topics shared in this forum range from relevant information on anatomy, physiology, developmental milestones, and differential diagnosis to therapeutic practice when identifying and treating pediatric feeding and swallowing in the school setting. The forum also includes focused articles on the necessity of collaboration with families during the treatment process, current information on legal parameters dealing with school-based pediatric feeding disorder services, and a framework for assessment and treating pediatric feeding disorder in the school setting.
