Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a feeding guide education program for parents of children with cerebral palsy.
Methods: Seven pairs of parents and primary caregivers, with 2- to 3-year-old children with cerebral palsy who had difficulties in feeding, were provided with five sessions of feeding guide education. A comparative analysis was made before the education sessions began and 2 weeks after their completion. Feeding assessments were made in the following categories: feeding environment, oral sensitivity, oral function, mobility, and feeding function.
Results: After the parental education the feeding environment improved but oral sensitivity oral sensitivity decreased. Oral function and mobility and the feeding functions of the children improved.
Conclusion: The parental education used in this clinical practice is expected to help improve feeding functions of children with cerebral palsy through the incorporation of feeding treatment at home.
