Chewing and Swallowing Training Program in Coffin-Lowry Syndrome

A home based chewing and swallowing training program (CST) will be applied by an experienced physical therapist. The Functional Chewing Training will be used to improve chewing function which has five steps including positioning the child and food, sensory stimulation, chewing training and adjustment of food consistency to improve chewing function. To support hyolaryngeal elevation, laryngeal mobilization will be performed. Hyolaryngeal mobilization will be performed by moving hyolaryngeal complex in right, left and up directions manually.
