Clinical and Professional Development, Melmark New England, Andover, MA, USA.
Background: Some adults with intellectual disabilities do not acquire oral feeding skills and are dependent on gastrostomy tube supplementation.
Methods: Two adults with intellectual and multiple disabilities received intervention for oral consumption during daily meals (standardised food and liquid quantities, individualised procedural guidelines, and consumption-contingent consequences) while the frequency and amount of gastrostomy tube feedings were gradually decreased and eliminated.
Results: Compared to baseline (pre-intervention) conditions, the adults increased oral consumption of food and liquid during the intervention and gastrostomy tube supplementation was eliminated.

Article Synopsis

- A study at the Lumina Association analyzed 604 children who needed enteral feeding, primarily due to swallowing issues, congenital malformations, or malnutrition.
- While enteral feeding helps maintain nutrition and hydration, it also poses risks like digestive issues and infections in these patients receiving palliative care.
