This article provides a discussion about sensory issues that interfere with eating in some children. Sensory issues that impact feeding are perhaps the most challenging problems for families and health care providers who work together to help children learn and feel comfortable about eating by mouth. Part 1 of this article describes typical feeding progression, how sensory issues may interfere with this progression, types of sensory feeding issues and assessment. Part 2 (March/April 2008) will continue the discussion with an emphasis on interventions and treatment options. Two case studies will illustrate the complexity and challenge of sensory feeding issues and how progress can be made.
