The team may include the following people: • Speech pathologist to assess and treat swallowing difficulties. • Physiotherapist to assist with good positioning. • Occupational therapist to suggest equipment. • Paediatrician to deal with medical issues. • Dietitian to determine the food requirements – Novita can arrange for children to see a dietitian through the Women’s and Children’s Hospital (see the Related External Links list – this page).
