<div>The original review concluded that there was not enough high-quality evidence to provide conclusive results about the effectiveness of any particular type of oral motor therapy for dysphagia in children with neurological impairment. <br><br>Evidence from this update to Morgan et al. as well as updates to Marshall et al. and the 2017 NICE cerebral palsy guideline found the evidence regarding management of eating, drinking, and swallowing disorders for children with neurological impairment is of low quality and there is inadequate research evidence to conclude if such interventions are effective.</div>
