A clearly defined feeding care plan is an important part of successfully managing a pediatric feeding disorder . It is an essential part of communicating, and implementing safe and successful strategies across multiple care settings, e.g. grandparents, daycare and school.  A feeding care plan is also a useful means for documenting interventions that may also require extra caution and attention, e.g. related to aspiration risk, allergies.

A care plan is a living document that every client / family should have a copy of and is intended to be updated at key points when the plan of care changes. It's best used together with the Collaborative Goal Wheel .
