Program Overview

Brochure (165KB, 2 pgs.)

Children with feeding disorders and eating problems need a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to start their journey to independence. Our program is individually tailored to the needs of each child and his/her family.

Before beginning the program, each child is evaluated and assessed to determine if his/her feeding disorder is caused by medical, oral-motor, sensory, appetite or behavioral problems. Following this evaluation, a variety of treatment options are available, including outpatient and follow-up care.

Pediatric gastroenterologists
Developmental pediatricians
Pediatric psychologists
Occupational therapists
Care managers
Pediatric dieticians
Nursing
Rehabilitation technicians
Speech and language pathologists
Social workers

Based on each child's needs, the team will design a treatment plan incorporating the child's individual goals and objectives. The treatment plan will be adapted to your child's home environment.

Services are provided on an inpatient, outpatient or day treatment basis.
