What is it about?
This first of its kind tutorial offers guidelines for clinicians who perform, interpret, and/or want to train to perform FEES in the pediatric population. Important clinical distinctions exist when using FEES with the pediatric population versus with the adult population. Developmental changes, pediatric medical frailty, provider–parent/caregiver interaction, collaboration with physician colleagues, and patient safety are representative of key areas highlighted.

Why is it important?
This article is a comprehensive tutorial for practicing clinicians for using FEES in pediatric populations and is the first of its kind.
Perspectives
This article, in combination with Part 1 the adult FEES tutorial, were developed as a result of a special continuing education task force from ABSSD and SIG13 efforts. This tutorial-- from concept to publication, took more than 4 years to pull together and countless hours of preparation. I cannot express my gratitude enough for this wonderful group of authors. Please enjoy!
