Progress in medical care witnessed nowadays has resulted in the increase of the survival rate of infants affected or at risk of some psychomotor development disorders. High psychomotor risk may be associated with perinatal risk factors, preterm delivery as well as hereditary diseases. Each child with the so-called positive perinatal family history may experience difficulty feeding and swallowing. Therefore, diagnosing feeding and swallowing disorders, known as dysphagia, by a team of specialists including a neonatologist, paediatrician, gastroenterologist, laryngologist, psychologist and speech pathologist, has become an urgent need. The aim of this article is to acquaint the readers with the role of the specialist in speech pathology in the improvement of the feeding and swallowing skills in children affected by certain psychomotor disorders, as well as present current developments in the specialist speech care available in hospitals and early medical intervention centres in Poland. Današnji napredak u pružanju medicinske nege doveo je do povećanja stope preživljavanja beba kod kojih već postoje ili su pod rizikom od razvoja psihomotornih poremećaja. Visok psihomotorni rizik može se dovesti u vezu sa perinatalnim faktorima rizika, preranim porođajem, kao i naslednim bolestima. Svako dete sa takozvanom pozitivnom perinatalnom porodičnom istorijom može da ima probleme sa ishranom i gutanjem. Zbog toga je dijagnostikovanje poremaćaja ishrane i gutanja, poznatih kao disfagija, od strane tima specijalista, uključujući i neonatologa, pedijatra, gastroenterologa, laringologa, psihologa i logopeda, postalo urgentno. Cilj ovog rada bio je da upoznamo čitaoce sa ulogom specijaliste za patologiju govora u poboljšanju ishrane i mogućnosti gutanja kod dece sa izvesnim psihomotornim poremećajima, kao i sa aktuelnim dostignućima u pružanje specijalizovane nege u bolnicama i centrima za ranu intervenciju u Poljskoj.
