| Are you a parent or school staff member looking to support children with feeding difficulties? Join us for our upcoming training on sensory and functional difficulties in feeding.

We will discuss how sensory and functional difficulties can impact a child's development of eating skills, and how parents and caregivers can support children in overcoming these challenges.
