Dietetic Therapy for Children

Caring for children with nutritional and eating difficulties can be challenging for the entire family. Sophie is a Mother of two, patient and understanding and will work with parents and caregivers to provide the best outcome for the child.

 

We provide NDIS dietetics support to children, from infancy through to adolescence, who have challenges with eating and their diets, such as fussy or restricted eating and growth concerns
