Services for Professionals
We support professionals through three key services:
Mentoring
We provide one-on-one and group mentoring to support complex pediatric feeding cases, strengthen clinical reasoning, and build confidence in responsive, relationship-based care. Mentoring includes training in the Nurtured Feeding Approach™ and its application across the full spectrum of Pediatric Feeding Disorders (PFD).
