“…A review of the literature confirmed that there is a lack of available tools to assess neonatal feeding that have adequate psychometrics and adjust scoring based on developmental changes across PMA (25). The NEO Assessment was developed by outlining key components important for feeding success.…”

“…feeding, and it is the most investigated for psychometric qualities (Bickell et al, 2018). As a result of its established validity, the Neonatal Eating Outcome Assessment offers an alternative standardized feeding tool, with the additional benefit of being an assessment that can gauge normal versus abnormal feeding performance across PMA with good psychometric properties.…”

“…A purpose-built assessment form (attached in Supplementary Materials) was developed as there was no available standardized assessment that met the study needs [26][27][28][29]. The assessment form was developed to incorporate assessment measures/parameters typically completed during an in-person infant feeding assessment [30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

Evaluating the Use of Telepractice for Bottle-Feeding Assessments

There is currently limited evidence supporting the use of telepractice to conduct bottle-feeding assessments. This study aimed to investigate the inter-rater reliability of bottle-feeding assessments conducted via synchronous telepractice (real-time videoconferencing). Secondary aims were to investigate parent and clinician satisfaction. Bottle-feeding skills of 30 children (aged 1 month–2 years) were simultaneously assessed by a telepractice SP (T-SP) at a remote location and an in-person SP (IP-SP) at the family home. A purpose-designed assessment form was used to evaluate: (1) developmental level (screen only), (2) state, color, and respiration, (3) oral motor skills, (4), infant oral reflexes, (5) tongue tie (screen only), (6) non-nutritive suck, (7) bottle-feeding, (8) overall feeding skills and (9) recommendations. Results of the T-SP and IP-SP assessments were compared using agreement statistics. Parents reported perceptions of telepractice pre and post session, and also rated post-session satisfaction. The telepractice SP completed a satisfaction questionnaire post-appointment. The majority of assessment components (45/53, 85%) met the agreement criteria (≥80% exact agreement). Difficulties were noted for the assessment of palate integrity, gagging during non-nutritive suck assessment, and 6 components of the tongue tie screen. Parent and clinician satisfaction was high; SPs reported that they would offer telepractice services to 93% of families again in the future. Overall, the results demonstrated that most components of a bottle-feeding assessment could be reliably completed via synchronous telepractice in family homes. However, further research is required to improve the reliability of some intra-oral assessment components.

Abstract: Findings from this systematic review demonstrate clinical usefulness of the tools based on their assessment properties, however additional studies are needed to further establish their psychometric soundness.
