In this episode, Michelle is joined by Erin Forward. Together they spend an hour dedicated to dissecting common airway, cardiac, and GI issues prevalent with Infants, toddlers, and children who have Down syndrome, and how these can result in a pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders. Special attention is placed on how airway, cardiac, and GI issues can occur in isolation, but often concomitantly in patients with Down syndrome. Appropriate Interprofessional practice referrals, functional feeding strategies, and the work of the National Down Syndrome Society are discussed.
