Behavior tracking and outside lab testing may be warranted to gather further information.  Our goal is to identify underlying causes of limited food intake, underweight or malnutrition, vitamins/minerals deficiencies, foods that affect behavior problems, and food-medication interactions, and ultimately move the client towards a more well-rounded food and nutrient intake.

ADHD

A complete evaluation to identify problematic areas of nutrition that affect behavior.  Recommendations and guidelines provided based on each individual.

Developmental Disabilities

Children with disabilities commonly experience nutrition problems, including feeding difficulties, underweight, overweight, constipation, tube feeding, and others. We always consider the child’s diagnosis, growth history, feeding history, current therapies, schedule, etc. when completing our evaluation and recommendations.
