Abstract
Dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing may occur when there is a neurologic or structural disorder that interferes with the smooth and efficient movement of food from the mouth to the stomach. Many children with BDMH manifest oral-ingestive problems. This prospective study was conducted on (50) BDMH children (34 males and 16 females) with their ages ranged between 2.1and 11years. They had different types and degrees of severity. Ten children were assessed as a control group (7 females and 3 males) with their ages ranged between 3.2 and10.3 years. All the children were subjected to the protocol of feeding and swallowing assessment. BDMH children were subjected to Behavioral Re-Adjustment Therapy (BRAT). The protocol of therapy was tailored for each child according to his/her feeding and swallowing break down.The result from this study revealed that: The mildly and moderately physically impaired and mentally retarded BDMH children showed the most statistically significant improvement in end-test than the severely physically impaired and mentally retarded BDMH children
