  1. 3. may have an immediate impact on some difficult oral motor problems such as tonic bite and tongue thrust movement patterns.
  2. 7. Behavioral difficulties often manifest as food _______.
  3. 8. Children with oral hypersensitivity may benefit from generalized sensory deep pressure or ______ strategies.
  4. 12. Meaning that it considers the whole child, involves the family and involves collaboration with professionals from other disciplines as needed.
  5. 13. includes vertical head and trunk position, hip flexion greater than 90 degrees, knee flexion at 90 degrees, and feet supported on a flat surface.

  10. 21. is a complex act in which food, fluid, medication, or saliva is moved from the mouth through the pharynx and the esophagus, and into the stomach.

  12. 25. in poverty may be unable to provide sufficient food or may eat cheaper foods that tend to be high in carbohydrates and fat.
  13. 27. An OT uses a variety of this to observe the child’s sensory responses.
  14. 28. EVAL of the context aka ________ in which feeding occurs is essential to the development of intervention plans. Because in some cases, feeding problems are based primarily on contextual issues, including physical, social, temporal, and cultural.
  15. 30. challenging oral feeding activities are presented at the _______ of the meal.
  16. 32. An integral part of the EVAL process to learn about current feeding practice, help ID primary concerns and get to the root of the feeding problem.
  17. 33. EQ may promote improvement in oral motor control, increase independence in self-feeding, or compensate for a motor or sensory impairment.
  18. 34. refers to the lack of access to enough food to fully meet basic needs at all times because of a lack of financial resources.
  19. 36. Apart of the behavioral strategies, practicing positive reinforcement combined with ignoring or ______ of inappropriate behaviors to improve oral intake.

  1. 1. also has an impact on meal time and feeding patterns.
  2. 2. is also common in children who have received extensive medical interventions.
  3. 4. problems are very common in children with feeding disorders.
  4. 5. OTs create opportunities for gradual oral sensory exploration through _____ and positive experiences to reduce oral hypersensitivity.
  5. 6. When providing positioning recommendations, OTs attempt to support correct postural ______ and _______ to allow the child greater control of the arm in space while bringing the spoon to the mouth.
  6. 9. is a modified barium swallow study that is the radiographic procedure for assessing the oral, pharyngeal, and upper esophageal anatomy, and the physiology of the stages of swallowing.
  7. 10. Their personality traits can also shape mealtime and affect a child’s ability to feed.
  8. 11. This consistency of liquid is easier to control with the lips and tongue, moves more slowly within the mouth, and allows the child more time to organize a bolus for effective swallowing without early spillage into the pharyngeal cavity.
  9. 14. is generally a family time that provides physical, cognitive, and emotional nourishment of all members.
  10. 15. A neuromotor EVAL of generalized muscle tone, neuromuscular status, and general developmental level.

  15. 29. may be seen, in which a child bites down forcefully in response to a stimulus and has difficulty opening or relaxing the jaw.
  16. 31. plays an important role in what they eat, how much and whether the child can self-feed or be fed.
  17. 35. It is important that the observation _______ those conditions of a typical mealtime.
