A guide that focuses on performing videofluoroscopic swallow studies. Pediatric Videofluoroscopic Swallow Studies is a professional manual that focuses on videofluoroscopic studies in children and reviews a child's anatomy and motor development as it relates to feeding. It gives a brief history of the modified barium swallow study, outlines the phases of swallowing and anatomic differences between infants and adults, and lists the reasons why most adult studies are not applicable to pediatrics. Using detailed illustrations and tables, the authors describe the procedures for conducting a videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) in infants and older children, discuss interpretation of results, and define needs for future research.

Brief assessment that helps identify the presence and symptom severity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Use this early intervention assessment tool in a clinical or medical setting to determine if a 2- to 12-month-old child's motor skills are developmentally delayed. The assessment yields criterion-referenced scores and information that can be used to plan intervention and treatment programs. The results can also be used to document incremental progress over short time periods. The assessment is based on the dynamical systems theory and on the therapist's non-intrusive observation of the child's posture and fine motor abilities. The parent's presence during the evaluation is encouraged. The evaluation takes just 25 to 30 minutes.
