Specialized Assessments

For sleeping and feeding struggles

Bedtime can be relaxing, and mealtime can be enjoyable. If you have been struggling for a while with your infant or toddler's eating or sleeping, you and your child might benefit from structured assessment and guidance.

Specialized assessments are helpful when individual coaching sessions are not enough. This comprehensive assessment takes into account all historical data, including medical and growth information, to help determine the scope of the issue. Together, we will determine what can be done. Implementation of new routines takes place over a span of 6-12 weeks of regular sessions.
