“…Assessments for breast-feeding and bottle feeding of neonates and young infants have not been standardized, but a few assessments provide systematic observations of infant feeding (e.g., Table 1). Multiple scales and check lists, although not standardized, enable clinicians to systematize observations of children [e.g., Arvedson et al, 2002, pp 324-329;Kenny et al, 1989;Jelm, 1990;Coster et al, 1998;Koontz-Lowman and Lane, 1999;Reilly et al, 2000]. Instrumental swallow assessments may be recommended as the next step in a comprehensive evaluation of feeding and swallowing.…”

Assessment of infants and children with dysphagia (swallowing problems) and feeding disorders involves significantly more considerations than a clinical observation of a feeding. In addition to the status of feeding in the child, considerations include health status, broad environment, parent-child interactions, and parental concerns. Interdisciplinary team approaches allow for coordinated global assessment and management decisions. Underlying etiologies or diagnoses must be delineated to every extent possible because treatment will vary according to history and current status in light of all factors that are often interrelated in complex ways. A holistic approach to evaluation is stressed with a primary goal for every child to receive adequate nutrition and hydration without health complications and with no stress to child or to caregiver. Instrumental swallow examinations that aid in defining physiological swallowing status are needed for some children. Successful oral feeding must be measured in quality of meal time experiences with best possible oral sensorimotor skills and safe swallowing while not jeopardizing a child's functional health status or the parent-child relationship.

“…The Clinical Feeding Evaluation of Infants method devised by Wolf and Glass 14 is an oral-motor assessment tool for infants who are primarily breast- or bottle-fed. The Oral-Motor Feeding Rating Scale, devised by Jelm 15 can be divided into 6 grades, with scores ranging from 0 to 5 in each of the assessment categories, and can be used for patients ranging in age from 1 year to adulthood. However, the drawback of this diagnostic tool is that the information used to interpret results is lacking.…”

Clinical Usefulness of Schedule for Oral-Motor Assessment (SOMA) in Children with Dysphagia

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical usefulness of the Schedule for Oral-Motor Assessment (SOMA) in children with dysphagia by comparing findings of SOMA with those of the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS).MethodBoth SOMA and VFSS were performed in 33 children with dysphagia (21 boys and 12 girls; mean age 17.3±12.1 months) who were referred for oropharyngeal evaluation. Ratings of oral-motor functions indicated by SOMA were based upon the cutting score of each specific texture of food (puree, semi-solids, solids, cracker, liquid-bottle, and liquid-cup). Abnormalities of either the oral phase, or the pharyngeal phase as indicated by VFSS were assessed by a physician and a speech-language pathologist.ResultsThere was significant consistency between the findings of SOMA and the oral phase evaluation by VFSS (Kappa=0.419, p=0.023). SOMA reached 87.5% sensitivity, 66.6% specificity, and 95.4% positive predictive value when compared with the oral phase of the VFSS. We were able to evaluate oral-motor function by using SOMA in 6 children who were unable to complete the oral phase evaluation by VFSS, due to fear and crying during the study. The findings of SOMA failed to show any consistency with the pharyngeal phase evaluation by VFSS (Kappa=-0.105, p=0.509).ConclusionThese results suggest that SOMA is a reliable method for evaluation of oral-motor function in children with dysphagia. In particular, SOMA is recommended for children that were unable to complete the oral phase evaluation by VFSS due to poor cooperation.

“…Successful implementation of a dynamic assessment process requires the use of a variety of tools and strategies to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of a child's speech-language skills. Oral-motor integrity can be assessed with the Pre-Speech Assess-ment Scale (Morris, 1984) or the Oral-Motor/Feeding Rating Scale (Jelm, 1995). Both permit a comprehensive evaluation of the child's oral-motor skills development to be made.…”

Language and Oral-Motor Development and Disorders in Infants and Young Toddlers with Human Immunodeficiency Virus

There are only a few studies on the preverbal and language development of infants and toddlers with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the available literature indicates that HIV infection appears to compromise language development. No studies could be found on the oral-motor development of such children. This article reviews current research on the preverbal and language development of children with HIV from birth to 3 years of age and provides recommendations for future research. Information on several virus-related pathologies that can interfere with oral-motor integrity and development is also presented. Proper intervention to remediate language disorders and support oral-motor development of these children requires their comprehensive assessment, and a dynamic assessment strategy is recommended.
