When addressing feeding and swallowing concerns in an infant, toddler, or young child with Down syndrome, professionals and caregivers should be aware of common anatomical considerations that can impede a child's progress toward becoming a successful eater and drinker. In this course, Michelle Dawson, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, BCS-S, FNAP, takes a closer look at dysphagia in children with Down syndrome.

Michelle explains the signs and symptoms of anatomical and structural concerns that can affect oral feeding in this population, along with frequently occurring concomitant disorders and diagnoses. You'll also learn when to refer these patients to other professionals and three potential referrals an SLP could make.
