Speech Pathology Feeding is a private specialist clinic for babies and children with paediatric feeding difficulties.
Feeding from birth can be a truly wonderful experience for most parents and babies. However for some families, the feeding process can be very complicated and stressful due to many factors. The goal of Speech Pathology Feeding is to support parents and families experiencing difficulties with feeding, eating and swallowing from birth to 12 years.
Speech Pathology Feeding focuses on the strengths of each individual, to support and empower parents and caregivers to help their child reach their full potential.
