Cleveland Clinic Feeding Clinic

[Guest guest]

Hi---

I am posting this for another family: Has anyone had their child with autism go through the Cleve. Clinic's feeding clinic and if so, what can you tell me about it, good, bad or whatever? You can email off list if you would prefer: lyndhurstmom3@....

Thanks so much!

We went there once. I found the staff very professional and helpful.

Unfortunately, my insurance would not pay for it, so we discontinued the

services. They use a team approach, which I found very impressive.

The feeding clinic can help when a child has sensory issues or just has a very

limited dietary selection. There typically is a team of individuals (e.g.,

medical doctor, OT, psychologist, nutritionist etc.) assisting in getting the

child to eat a more varied diet. They start with an assessment to see what your

child will eat and how your child eats. They then develop a treatment plan from

there.
