We recorded neuromagnetic responses to tactile stimulation of . Diet modifications should consider the nutritional needs of the child to avoid undernutrition and malnutrition. SLPs do not diagnose or treat eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder; in the cases where these disorders are suspected, the SLP should refer to the appropriate behavioral health professional. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-7/subtitle-B/chapter-II/subchapter-A/part-210/subpart-C/section-210.10.

Tube feeding includes alternative avenues of intake such as via a nasogastric tube, a transpyloric tube (placed in the duodenum or jejunum), or a gastrostomy tube (a gastronomy tube placed in the stomach or a gastronomyjejunostomy tube placed in the jejunum).
