Title: Timing Introduction of Complementary Foods for Infants and Young Children with Down syndrome”
Our research team is working towards creating guidelines and/or resources for families to help guide providers with recommendations for the introduction of complementary foods for infants and young children with Down syndrome (DS). We are interested in getting input from clinicians who work with infants and young children with Down syndrome who support feeding progression, to help determine what factors and skills clinicians across the United States are using to determine recommendations for the introduction of complementary foods for infants and children with DS.
We know that children with Down syndrome are at risk of feeding difficulties due to medical comorbidities and associated developmental delays, yet there are limited published standards to guide families with feeding progression. Previous research has concluded that peer-reviewed published guidelines on feeding progression for children with DS are needed, including considerations for determining when skill and interest converge to signal safe introduction of complementary foods. The purpose of the study is to examine SLPs, OTPs, and PTs perspectives on the health concerns caused by climate change and whether they are implementing strategies into their practice.
