Parenting with Disabilities
Raising kids can bring many challenges as well as present numerous learning opportunities throughout each age and stage of the child’s life. Our unique program explores resources for parents with disabilities in order to offer one-on-one assistive strategies.
Pediatric Feeding Services
Feeding is a daily activity of childhood that allows children to grow, develop, play, and learn. Children take part in meals and snacks multiple times a day and in a variety of settings like home, daycare, and school. Feeding goes beyond eating and swallowing. It also includes the process of participating in meal times and getting food and drink to the mouth.
Pediatric Vision Impairment
Sight is one of our most important senses and any deficit in vision can affect a child’s ability to learn and engage in daily activities. Visual disorders in children can include both deficits in their visual acuity and in their visual field.
Self-management for Living Well
Within health care, the term “self-management” can mean many things. For us, it means helping people find ways to stay healthy and manage any chronic conditions that are present. Because needs are unique, we focus on strategies most impactful for you.
