This webinar will provide an exploration of pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders in pediatric aerodigestive patients through the presentation and analysis of real-life clinical scenarios. Participants will learn to identify abnormalities across the feeding and swallowing process and translate these findings into evidence‑based recommendations and treatment plans. The course will consider common medical and instrumental assessments used in the evaluation of pediatric dysphagia, highlighting indications, limitations, and clinical decision‑making considerations. Emphasis will be placed on the essential components of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team approach, preparing clinicians to integrate medical, therapeutic, and family perspectives in the comprehensive assessment and management of pediatric feeding and swallowing challenges.
