Synopsis

The authors present normal development, assessment, and treatment as equal issues in a triangle of learning. Knowledge of normal development provides a baseline reference for identifying movement and sensory patterns that create limitations. A treatment program can evolve from those elements. Theoretical, factual, and practical information are offered in a way that allows for different styles of learning. Multisensory participation experiences lead the reader to better understand the oral feeding processes. This holistic approach results in more effective remediation, enabling the child to progress further along the developmental feeding path.
