A member asked:
12mo son diagnosis at 5mo with silent aspiration due to swallow reflex delay. can this only be outgrown or can slp/ot at age 12mo help fix delay issue.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapy - absolutely: Yes, slp and ot therapy can make huge differences at this age for kids who have feeding and swallowing issues. While your child may "outgrow" it over time, why not get him better sooner with appropriate therapy? This can only be beneficial and will also help in other areas of development and with his speech skills as they are now developing as well. And therapy is free through birth-3 program.
