About the Nutrition Counseling Clinic

The NEO Kids and Family Program's nutrition counseling clinic provides dietary expertise from a dietitian to children and youth aged 0 – 17 years. Nutrition plays a major role in a child and youth’s development. The dietitian will provide personalized nutrition plans and support to patients and families for making changes to their eating pattern to manage medical conditions.

Nutritional counseling is available for the following health concerns:

  • Selective eating/feeding aversion
  • Failure to thrive/poor weight gain
  • Weight loss/underweight
  • Malnutrition/nutritional deficiencies (anemia)
  • Food allergies/intolerances
  • Chromosomal/genetic abnormalities
  • Dysphagia
  • Gastrointestinal issues/celiac disease/irritable bowel disease
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Enteral feeding
  • Other conditions affecting growth, nutrient intake or age-appropriate development of feeding skills

For the appointment, please come prepared to answer questions about the child/youth’s typical eating habits, food intake and growth pattern. If they are taking nutritional, vitamin/mineral or alternative health supplements, bring the information to share with the dietitian. A list of specific nutrition concerns, topics or goals for the dietitian to help with is also useful.

The appointment may be virtual (telephone or videoconference) or in-person. For virtual appointments, children school-aged and older should attend with their caregiver. For in-person appointments please ensure that the child/youth is in attendance regardless of age.

 

Only physicians or nurse practitioners can submit a referral to the Nutrition Counseling Clinic.
