Online feeding therapy & mealtime support

Paediatric feeding is a very unique area of clinical practice. With very few multidisciplinary clinics available worldwide, we have many clients who live interstate or overseas receiving support from our team of experienced therapists.

Online therapy is tailored to your child’s individual needs and may consist of:

  • Telehealth consultations

  • Phone consultations

  • Video review of mealtimes & feedback

  • Case conferencing with your child’s local therapist to ensure that a collaborative approach to therapy is being provided.
