Effect of multisensory non-food and food management of pediatric feeding disorders in adults not treated early: case study ; Effet de la prise en soin multisensorielle non alimentaire et alimentaire sur les troubles alimentaires pédiatriques chez l’adulte non traité précocement : étude de cas

Food orality is a function that develops from intra-uterine life and thanks to the experiences encountered during childhood. Various difficulties can arise and interfere with its development, which can lead to Pediatric Feeding Disorders (PFDs). There manifestations can be in different ways, and be accompanied by difficulties in the psychomotor, sensory, behavioral and/or relational domains. While these disorders are well documented in children, it’s different for adults, thus impacting their care. Our study sought to evaluate the effect of multisensory care, non-foody and foody, with an adult patient with PFDs who had never been treated. We also evaluated whether this treatment improved quality of life and allowed the enlargement of the food inventory. We have implemented a protocol, from assessment to care, based on the principles of neurosensory integration. The analysis of the results showed that the multisensory care could improve the PFDs, but also the quality of life. On the other hand, it also makes it possible to broaden the food inventory. In agreement with other studies, our research has allowed us to realize that there is an important link between the senses and food. Faced with PFDs, multi-sensory care is often necessary in order to desensitize and lead to habituation of all the senses related to food. ; L’oralité alimentaire est une fonction qui se développe dès la vie intra-utérine et grâce aux expériences rencontrées durant l’enfance. Diverses difficultés peuvent survenir et interférer dans son développement, pouvant entraîner des Troubles alimentaires pédiatriques (TAP). Ils peuvent se manifester de différentes manières, et être accompagnés de difficultés dans les domaines psychomoteur, sensoriel, comportemental et/ou relationnel. Si ces troubles sont bien documentés chez les enfants, il n’en est pas de même pour les adultes, impactant par conséquent leur prise en soin. Ainsi, notre étude a cherché à évaluer l’effet d’une prise en soin multisensorielle, non alimentaire et alimentaire, auprès ...
