978-1-898683-95-7 (ISBN)
This book is written to assist those who have responsibility for the nutritional and gastrointestinal care of children with neurodisability. The emphasis throughout is on the importance of multidisciplinary care. It is concerned with the problems surrounding the nutritional management of children with neurological impairment who have difficulty swallowing and feeding. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective by a group of authors with considerable clinical and research experience in this area, it covers the epidemiology of feeding disorders in children with cerebral palsy; nutritional assessment; evaluation of oral-motor function; dietetic management; nursing issues in the nutritional care of the disabled child; tube feeding; and, gastrointestinal problems and their investigation.
Dr Peter B. Sullivan's principle appointment is as Reader in the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Oxford where he is Head of Department. He is a Fellow of Magdalen College Oxford. Since September 1994, he has also held an appointment as an honorary consultant paediatrician at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. His special interests include the provision of a clinical service for children with complex gastrointestinal problems, and his specific research interests are in the gastrointestinal and nutritional problems of children with neurological disabilities.
