Background: This study reports data on the validity and reliability of a new parent report measure, the Pediatric Assessment Scale for Severe Feeding Problems, designed to assess progress in the development of oral eating skills for children who need prolonged tube feeding.
Methods: The questionnaire was completed by parents of 3 groups of children. The first group consisted of 17 children who received all of their nutrition by tube feedings, a second group of 30 children who were oral eaters but required supplementation by tube feedings, and a third group of 27 children who were referred for feeding difficulties but were not receiving any tube feeding.
