This handbook provides easily accessible information on the
aetiology, assessment and management of nutritional disorders in
children with neurodisability. Succinct review of current evidence
and guidelines is used to inform best practice. Early chapters
outline the normal anatomy and physiology of feeding before
considering the assessment and management of disordered feeding,
and impact on nutritional status. Subsequent chapters discuss
nutritional assessment and management supported by clear
illustration of anthropometry techniques. Further consideration of
the consequences of under and over nutrition, and impact on bone
health is included. Dedicated chapters on associated
gastrointestinal problems, management of drooling and dental care
consider related comorbidities commonly experienced by children
with neurodisability. A dedicated chapter on the use of tube
feeding considers specific nutritional requirements and
psychological aspects of intervention. Clinical vignettes are used
to illustrate key learning points throughout.
