This presentation explores how we can identify deficits in tongue function that will impact feeding. It will review the research on how babies use their tongues during feeding and examine the different assessment tools available and the appropriate use and relevance of these tools. It will also discuss other factors which may impact tongue function and feeding which need to be considered when making a diagnosis of tongue-tie and recommending division.
