What is the Feeding Clinic?
Ethos Health paediatric dietitian Jane Watson and Let’s Eat Feeding Therapy speech pathologists are now offering a combined feeding clinic. The clinic has been running for over 12 months as a trial for our joint clients with very good outcomes so it is now available to all families concerned about their children’s eating.
The private feeding clinic is aimed at fussy eaters who require a multidisciplinary approach. More complex feeding cases will still be triaged to our separate teams for a full feeding/nutrition assessment.
Contact Ethos to enquire about the service.
