Abnormal Physiologic Responses to Touch in Feeding Difficulties

摘要: The ability of a child to process tactile input is critical for feeding development. Early touch processing involves generalized autonomic responses, which may include state behavior changes or gagging. Over time with neurological maturation during the first 3 months life in healthy infants, these responses modulate more appropriate behavioral patterns. However, recent report found that full-term infants who have been orally deprived (i.e., received alternative tube feedings) this period persistent aberrant behaviors graded was not observed normal control group. Further, were persist well beyond year life. These findings are supported by other areas development, such as and emotional regulation, also appear connection successful regulation early into adolescence adulthood. As result, assessment related should comprehensive past medical history best determine root cause behavior. clinicians treating chronic negative thorough understanding type if developmental levels interrupted. This broader behaviors, particularly when children over age, will, turn, promote treatment techniques remediate
