This resource from the Journal of Child and Family Studies explores the feeding experiences and support of caregivers with children with cerebral palsy. 

Motor dysfunction in cerebral palsy often affects the muscles of swallowing and chewing, leading to dysphagia and feeding difficulties, such as impaired sucking from a teat or drinking from a cup. This can result in children vomiting, ‘gagging’, drooling excessively, or aspirating feed, and children with severe motor impairment are the most affected.
