A team with the right ingredients for success
The high quality of care provided by our feeding clinic at Children’s Minnesota is a function of a great team committed to the same goal of caring for your child and your family. We have breadth and depth, and it shows. Our team is made up of one of each of these dedicated professionals:
Certified nurse practitioner or physician assistant who serves as the team’s experienced clinical coordinator. This includes evaluating medical concerns that could be affecting feeding and making referrals to other specialists or resources for support as needed
Occupational therapist who provides assessment of sensory processing, self-feeding development, positioning, and mealtime routines impacting feeding
Speech-language pathologist who provides assessment of oral motor skills and swallow function to ensure safety with food and liquid intake
Dietitian who assesses your child’s growth and nutrition and provides nutrition education tailored to you and your child’s needs.
Child psychologist (for children ages 3 and up) who addresses emotional, behavioral, and psychological aspects of feeding and provides support for parent-child interactions during mealtimes
