childhood feeding disorders  

Definition

  • Problems associated with feeding occur in 25% to 35% of all young children, particularly when children are acquiring new skills and are challenged with new foods or mealtime expectations (Linscheid, Budd, & Rasnake, 1995). Feeding problems may occur in as many as 60% to 80% of children with developmental disabilities. [Source: Encyclopedia of Applied Developmental Science; Feeding Disorders, Childhood]
