INTRODUCTION

Eating and swallowing disorders in children are common and reflected in several symptoms, yet they are not well known.

PATIENTS

Three patients are presented to demonstrate the spectrum of the problems, the diagnosis and the multidisciplinary team approach to treatment.

DISCUSSION

To enable safe eating and thriving, swallowing and eating disorders need to be recognized and treated, according to the child's development. This can be done by a multidisciplinary team, such as the one at The Edith Wolfson Medical Center.
