Tell-tale signs are when a child has difficulties chewing and seems to prefer lumpy or liquid foods if given a choice.Feeding disorders are different from swallowing problems. Unlike the latter, the child is able to swallow puree and liquids. Feeding disorder problems can stem from organic causes such as a cleft palate or children who have Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), a neurological condition where they face difficulties in processing information from one or more of their five senses.Alternatively, psycho-social factors such as being tube-fed at a young age or trauma at birth can cause a child to miss the developmental window of acquiring the necessary skills to chew.If not addressed, feeding disorders can lead to nutritional problems such as being severely underweight or having slow physical growth.
