Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the Turkish Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey among caregivers of pediatric patients with swallowing disorders.The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of T-EAT-10 will be investigated. The internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value with 95 % confidence intervals will be calculated for test-retest reliability. The criterion validity of the scale will be determined by assessing the correlation between the Turkish Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey and Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale, Tongue Thrust Rating Scale, Pediatric version of the Eating Assessment Tool. The validity will also be determined by completion of the Turkish Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey before and after swallowing rehabilitation of pediatric patients.

Arm Intervention/Treatment
CAREGIVERS

Caregivers of pediatric patients with swallowing disorders will be recruited.

Other: CAREGIVERS
The Turkish Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey will be completed by the caregivers

CHILDREN OF CAREGIVERS

Pediatric patients with swallowing disorders will be recruited.

Other: CHILDREN OF CAREGIVERS
Chewing performance with Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale, tongue control with Tongue Thrust Rating Scale, dysphagia symptom severity with the Pediatric version of the Eating Assessment Tool will be evaluated. These assessments will be done before and after swallowing rehabilitation program.
