We have been struggling with Pediatric Feeding Disorder for 16 years. Ian, 16, fights his sensory processing issues and fear surrounding new foods and textures. Nathan, 13, has food allergies, GI complications, and moderate to severe anxiety. If it hadn't been for Feeding Matters, I would never have known which therapies to look for, how to evaluate specialists, or navigate the complicated insurance landscape. I've received invaluable support as a parent, which has helped me deal with the positive and negative emotions of having medically complicated children. Feeding Matters has been a godsend for us, and for many other families struggling with all the variable forms this disorder takes. Every day they are working toward educating health professionals and developing best practices for treating all the aspects of this new diagnosis. We are all grateful for even the smallest donations, as every penny helps the cause for keeping children healthy and well-fed!
