    Once you've ruled out any physical issues with the Speech Path (and they may suggest this too) I would also look at any sensory issues - she may have an issue in regards to different sensations, processing them etc.

    Not all Speech Paths have knowledge regarding swallowing issues, especially in peadatrics, so I would ask your GP for a referral to one that has experience in the area. You can also contact Speech Pathology Australia to give you a name that would be good in this area. You will get seen quicker going private then public but it can be exxy - good luck!
