Abstract

Pediatric dysphagia presents multifaceted challenges impacting a child’s feeding, growth, and quality of life. This overview synthesizes current understanding regarding its diverse etiologies, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. Emphasis is placed on the critical role of multidisciplinary teams, neurophysiological underpinnings, and specialized interventions by speechlanguage pathologists. Unique considerations for neonates, the interplay with GERD, and the impact of neurological disorders are discussed. Strategies for transitioning to oral feeding, addressing nutritional and growth implications, ensuring airway protection, and managing psychosocial impacts are also highlighted. A holistic, individualized approach is crucial for optimizing outcomes
