Effective Interventions for Neonatal Dysphagia
Have you ever wondered why a baby may have difficulty swallowing his or her food? This uncomfortable situation is called neonatal dysphagia, and at Avanza Gabinete Psicopedagógico we have the experience and the tools to treat it.
What is Neonatal Dysphagia?
Neonatal dysphagia is a disorder that affects the infant's ability to swallow, making it difficult for the baby to feed properly and consequently to grow. It occurs especially during breastfeeding or the ingestion of modified milk.
Factors leading to Neonatal Dysphagia
The causes can be many and varied, ranging from congenital anomalies such as cleft palate, to neurological disorders such as Syndrome Williams or Angelman syndrome. Not all of them are visible with the eyes, so professional diagnosis and counselling are indispensable.
Treatments for Neonatal Dysphagia
All is not lost if your baby has this condition. At Avanza Gabinete Psicopedagógico we offer a wide variety of treatments for neonatal dysphagia. We give you guidelines to improve atypical swallowing and breastfeeding counselling.
Swallowing Rehabilitation Strategies
Through speech therapy, a child with neonatal dysphagia can learn to coordinate the swallowing process. Sessions are personalised according to the child's stage of development and progress.
Psychopedagogical Support to the Family
Families also play a vital role in recovery. Just as in cases of vocal pathologies or dyslaliastheir collaboration in therapy is essential. We offer them the support they need to understand and manage the situation.
Other Treatments
Let us not forget that each child is different. Therefore, psychomotor therapy, occupational therapy or other types of interventions may be required on a case-by-case basis. As when a child suffers from Syndrome Tourette's dysphagia, neonatal dysphagia also has individualised treatments.
