Abstract
An appreciation of normal age-related feeding behavior is a prerequisite for the study of pediatric feeding disorders. When faced with a child with dysphagia, the diagnostic evaluation including history, physical and developmental exam, and feeding observation, followed by appropriate diagnostic tests forms the basis for understanding the underlying pathophysiology and the anticipated developmental progression. It makes possible the formulation and implementation of an optimal treatment strategy, which can be monitored for results and modified when needed. Four case examples are provided.Keywords
