Through our early feeding experience with our son, we discovered how challenging it can be to locate support and resources. We find multi-disciplinary approaches to be so beneficial when supporting your child and family! We recognize that we might not be the best fit to start or that you might be seeking additional resources. Below you will find brief descriptions about each discipline and the supports they can provide as well as some local recommendations.
