Pediatric Feeding Disorders and Therapeutic Nutrition

Feeding disorders in children can significantly impact growth, development, and overall health. Conditions such as picky eating, oral-motor dysfunction, dysphagia, and sensory-based feeding difficulties often result in inadequate nutrient intake and failure to thrive. Early recognition and intervention are critical to preventing long-term health consequences. Therapeutic nutrition strategies involve individualized meal planning, texture modification, and behavior-based interventions designed to improve dietary intake and promote normal growth. Multidisciplinary approaches involving pediatricians, dietitians, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists are essential for effective management. Recent research emphasizes the integration of caregiver education, mealtime structure, and positive reinforcement techniques to enhance feeding behavior and compliance. Nutritional assessment tools and monitoring protocols allow clinicians to evaluate progress, identify deficiencies, and adjust interventions accordingly. Evidence-based therapies focus not only on caloric intake but also on ensuring adequate macro- and micronutrient balance to support immune function, cognitive development, and physical growth. Additionally, early therapeutic intervention reduces the psychological stress associated with feeding difficulties for both children and families. This session also explores innovative interventions, including specialized formulas, nutrient-dense foods, and sensory integration strategies that address both medical and behavioral aspects of feeding disorders. The objective is to provide practical guidance for clinical and community-based programs that can improve the nutritional status and quality of life for children experiencing feeding challenges.
