This scoping review compares the effects of interventions combining sensory processing components and oral-motor components to interventions targeting only oral-motor components on feeding skills in toddlers, 12-30 months old, with feeding disorders characterized by oral-motor deficits and limited texture acceptance.

<div>A direct comparison of the two interventions (i.e., oral motor alone versus a combination of sensory and oral motor treatment) was difficult given that the treatments examined in the included empirical studies had both a sensory and motor component. Currently, better evidence is available for treatments combining oral motor and sensory interventions in this specific population. </div>
