DescriptionI love what I do and have spent almost 10 years working as a Speech Pathologist in Paediatric Feeding. Having a mobile private practice makes so much sense with baby and infant feeding -it's less stressful for the parents, more functional and family focussed for the child and as a Speech Pathologist, what could be more natural that assessing a child eat in their own environment.
