Our team of dietitians are here to assess your child's growth, medical and feeding history, dietary intake and may observe your child during a mealtime session. Based on this information, the dietitian will work with you to develop goals and strategies for supporting your child's nutrition and eating behaviour.

 

Dietitians at Flying Start Children’s Therapy are passionate about supporting children and their families to achieve their nutrition goals.  Some areas they may be able to support you with include:

 

• Infant & child nutrition

• Food allergy & intolerance

• ASD and picky eating

• Growth concerns

• Group SOS to feeding programs

• Managing loss of appetite and faltering growth commonly associated with ADHD medication

• Gastrointestinal conditions
