Pediatric dietitians can design customized nutrition plans according to your child’s specific needs. Gastroenterologists can run tests to help diagnosis digestive symptoms and present treatment options. Occupational therapists and speech language pathologists can provide specific support on how you can help your child develop oral feeding skills, how to position your child during feeding, and how to use adapted chairs and feeding utensils during meals.
