Feeding and Eating

This week's grand rounds will feature:

At Children's, speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists work together to provide the best feeding services for your child. When you to call to schedule an evaluation, our intake coordinator will ask a series of questions to determine if your child should be seen by a speech-language pathologist or an occupational therapist. These therapists work closely with Children's Feeding Clinic and if your child would benefit from a comprehensive, interdisciplinary evaluation, we will provide you with referral information.

Children's Physician Access is available 24/7 with a representative on the line throughout the call to assist with referrals, consultations and admissions and to provide general information.

We know you may want to dig for more information, so we gathered these easy-to-digest materials and resources from pediatric organizations in Minnesota and beyond.

The way we first meet depends on your child's situation. Your child's primary care provider or another specialist within the Children's Minnesota network may have referred you to us. Or you may have found us because you're in search of new approaches for your child's feeding concerns. Either way, our team is ready to help.
