Our Purpose

The Guide for Pediatric Feeding Disorders in the Schools has been designed to provide the Arkansas  Department of Education information and support for school districts to establish and implement a team procedure for addressing swallowing and feeding disorders.

It is our hope that this guidebook empowers Arkansas, individual school districts and their professional staff  to embrace providing pediatric feeding disorder services to students.  The procedure and forms shared in this book have been used successfully in school districts throughout the country for over 25 years.
