Support Services

 

Nutrition Services

Nutrition counseling is important to the successful management and treatment of many GI conditions including celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, eosinophilic esophagitis, feeding intolerance, short bowel syndrome, failure to thrive and enteral or parenteral nutrition dependence. CHKD’s registered dietician will work with you and your child to develop a complete and balanced nutrition plan specific to your child’s needs and preferences.

Behavioral Health/Social Work

Living with a chronic illness or medical issue can be challenging. CHKD’s licensed clinical social workers can assist with issues surrounding adjustment to illness, compliance with medications, or referral to support resources in the community. These services may be provided during your clinic visit if requested by a physician or your child may be referred to a member of our LCSW team for outpatient therapy services.
