Occupational therapy’s longstanding expertise in ADLs includes involvement in the feeding, eating, and swallowing performance of people across the lifespan (American Occupational Therapy Association [AOTA], 2014b). Both occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants1 provide essential services in the comprehensive management of feeding, eating, and swallowing problems. Occupational therapy practitioners2 have the education, knowledge, and skills necessary for the evaluation of and intervention with feeding, eating, and swallowing problems. Purpose The purpose of this guideline is to clarify the role and describe the distinct perspective of occupational therapy practitioners in the delivery of occupational therapy services for people with feeding, eating, and swallowing impairments and performance limitations
