SPECIALTY SERVICES
Pill Swallowing
Parents often struggle with giving a variety of medications, whether over the counter or prescription. They often have to hide medications in food and liquids or make special requests from their physicians. In addition, sometimes families are not able to access certain medications due to their child's inability to swallow pills. We provide a special assessment and support for pill swallowing.
Parent Meal Plan
Parent training has been established as an effective tool to support and address feeding challenges. The Parent Meal Plan is designed to establish, generalize and maintain healthy eating habits in the home setting through parent education.
JBC's feeding department's goal is to provide families with support to address their child's feeding challenges, through weekly education, homework and consultation.
