This collection of SIG 13 articles addresses popular topics in dysphagia care throughout
the life span regarding thickening practices, family-centered care, and early intervention.
Jane Mertz Garcia, Edgar Chambers IV, and Anna Boyer utilized a survey to re-examine
practice patterns for thickened liquids and provided a comparison of past practices with
current to provide insight into contemporary themes that have previously not been
considered. Doreen Benson and George Barnes explore the utility of a mathematical
prediction model (Bayes theorem) in dysphagia management. Samantha E. Shune,
Deanna Linville, and Ashwini Namasivayam-MacDonald address maximizing treatment
effectiveness by using an approach with family resiliency and adaptation. Drawing from
the principles of family systems theory and the biopsychosocial-spiritual framework, they
use a case study as a tutorial to explore the application of family-centered care models
to dysphagia management. Stephanie C. Cohen and Karen Dilfer focus on the definition
of pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) and the multifaceted needs of families and children in
early intervention, support for use of responsive feeding in treatment of PFD, alignment
of responsive feeding strategies with early intervention principles, and barriers limiting
access to consistent, high-quality early intervention services for children with PFD.
