Introduction: Cerebral palsy refers to developmental disorders with direct repercussions on posture control and motricity. Its non-progressive and happens by damage of the brain still in development. Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) present alterations in the oral functions, which makes feeding difficult and can bring serious health consequences, such as malnutrition and pneumonia. The caregiver plays an essential role of these children's diet, so they need to know the implementation of best practices to provide safe food. Guidelines for food practices and care are essential and need to be satisfactory and effective to avoid complications and reduce stress for the caregiver and child. The speech therapist is the skilled professional in assisting and intervening in children's eating difficulties and in guiding the caregiver. However, the guidance provided is not always incorporated into daily practice, and it is key to know and understand it appropriately. Objective: To analyze the quality of the guidelines received and the feeding practices of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. Methods: This is an exploratory, cross-sectional study, involving 59 main caregivers of children with CP from 1 to 10 years of age, classified as level IV or V in the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), with absent cervical control or compensation and fed orally. Data collection carried out through interviews with questions related to the characterization of the sample, quality of the guidelines received regarding feeding and care. The data were entered, pre-coded and processed by the Epi-info 3.5.4 program, using Fisher's exact test to compare categorical variables. RESULTS: Of the total sample, 52 participants had already received speech-language guidance regarding feeding care. Of these, 76.9% were classified as satisfactory guidelines. The most emphasized aspect is related to posture, while signs of risk of bronchoaspiration were the least oriented.The quality of the guidelines was related to safe food consistency, inadequate utensils and facilitating maneuvers during children's feeding. Conclusion: The findings reveal that most of the caregivers receive the feeding guidelines for children with CP , however, there is no periodic and systematic monitoring of what is actually incorporated into the feeding . This may indicate a potential gap between the guidelines received by the caregivers and the effectiveness of their daily practice, especially concerning protective measures of the lower respiratory tract.

Feeding practice videos containing nutritional content for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) are often found in English. This study aimed to develop an educational video of feeding practices for children with CP that is feasible in Indonesia to improve the nutritional knowledge and skills of caregivers regarding feeding and drinking. The Research and Development method was used with the ADDIE model, which consisted of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Small-group and field-group trials were conducted at the PNTC, IFA, and YPAC Surakarta pediatric physiotherapy clinics from February to April 2023. Video validation was performed by three experts: nutritionists, physiotherapists, and media experts who were competent in their fields. The video results based on nutritionist validation were 76,4%, physiotherapist validation results were 85,5%, and 82,4% media expert validation results. These results indicate that the video feeding practice developed as an educational media is suitable for use with minor improvements, according to expert advice. The trial results for the small group comprised ten respondents and obtained highly feasible results (90,3%). A field trial with 15 respondents obtained a result of 89,7% in the feasible category. In conclusion, an educational video of feeding practices for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy is feasible.
