Fantastic resource!

This book is so well written, and truly is pretty darn "comprehensive", as the title says. The authors start with normal development, and lead you through the evaluation, goal writing and treatment process in such a coherent way. Many examples of actual children really help illustrate their points. Considering the cost of attending a feeding seminar, the price of this book is a good deal. Only wish I had time to read the book from front-to-back (it is over 600 pages).

The Feeding Bible

a "must have"

I found that book extremelly usefull. It provides detailed and organized information regarding feeding development, difficulties and treatment. I recomend this book for SLP working with children.

Excellent resource!

This is an excellent resource that every feeding therapist should own. The authors do not target one pediatric developmental stage but infancy through childhood. They thoroughly review normal anatomy and physiology relating to feeding and swallowing as well as complications and treatment options. The feeding experience is not isolated to anatomy and physiology but recognized as an experience with many psychoemotional and environmental factors.
