Feeding Team is a multidisciplinary group which evaluates and treats children with feeding disorders of various etiologies. Their approach combines group therapy, parent education and systematic desensitization to aversive food tastes and textures.

Message from the site mentor:

Dear Students,

If you observe me you will need to be on time, professionally attired and comfortable in a medical setting. You may be observing patients who are extremely ill in the Intensive Care Unit or you may be playing with toddlers in our outpatient clinic.

The pace is fast and I do not have much free time, however you will see a wide variety of children with feeding and/or speech-language impairments. You will observe me evaluating and providing treatment to these patients, providing parent education as well as participating in team conferences regarding patient care.

You must respect patient confidentiality at all times, you must be able to independently research your research topic and ABOVE ALL, you must not complain!!!

Once we set your observation schedule, it is not flexible. I am looking for someone who is independent, has some experience in a medical setting and who is reliable.

Thank you
