Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is a procedure utilized by speech language pathologists to evaluate swallowing function in infants and children. FEES has been found to be a valid and reliable procedure for the assessment of pediatric dysphagia. It is the only option for instrumental examination of swallowing in breastfeeding infants. This article describes the differences between the more common videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) and FEES, as well as management of interprofessional collaboration.
