They are present in otherwise healthy children, but more often in children with impaired neurological development. In such a case it is necessary to exclude anatomical abnormalities and motor feeding problems. Feeding problems are often associated with hypersensitivity to stimuli around the mouth and in the oral cave. These problems should be identified as soon as possible. The child and its family should be referred to the therapeutic program. The paper presents the basic principles of the sensory oral approach to feeding problems, which was developed by Kay A. Toomey and her colleagues. The results of the studies show that this approach is effectiveTežave pri hranjenju in neuspevanje otroka so v zgodnjem otroštvu pogoste. Srečamo jih pri sicer zdravih otrocih, še pogosteje pa pri otrocih z motnjami v nevrološkem razvoju. Pri takem otroku je potrebno izključiti anatomske vzroke in težave pri hranjenju zaradi težav pri gibanju ust in delov ustne votline. Težave pri hranjenju so pogosto povezane s preobčutljivostjo na dražljaje okoli ust in v ustni votlini. Te težave je potrebno prepoznati čim prej in otroka skupaj z družino vključiti v terapevtski program. V članku predstavljamo osnovne principe dela stopenjskega oralno-senzornega pristopa pri učenju hranjenja, ki so ga razvile Kay A. Toomey in kolegice. Rezultati študij kažejo, da je ta program učinkovitTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut RS – Soča
