Pre-Program Consultation
Price: $749
The Pre-Program Consultation is a vital first step for families ready to wean. This session includes:
A 1-hour intake discussion about your child’s medical history and feeding situation with a qualified clinician.
A review of your feeding videos and medical reports.
Together, we will assess the best path forward for your family. You can also customize your plan with additional services as needed.
Our thorough process ensures you feel confident in your child’s readiness for weaning. If we find it isn’t the right time, we will offer personalized recommendations to support you until then.
If you’re approved, you can work with us to progress to one of three weaning support levels depending on how much guidance you would prefer and what your therapist believes will be best for your child. Your care team will help determine the amount of support you need. We’re here to empower you.
