Feeding difficulties in children with visual impairment with no other impairments (original) (raw)

Feeding difficulties, particularly in transitioning to mixed or lumpy consistencies of food, are prevalent in children with visual impairments, even when no other disabilities are present. This paper discusses the experiences of children with severe congenital vision loss in British Columbia, highlighting their specific feeding challenges and the importance of recognizing these difficulties to improve future feeding skills. By addressing early feeding experiences, professionals can help mitigate potential nutritional and social issues in these children.
