Several students receive feeding therapy outside of school.

Sessions are scheduled Monday through Thursday, with a push-in model of service delivery. The caseload will include a mix of complex cases (heavy hitters) and articulation-only clients. The team currently has two openings to fill. Candidates with either CCCs or Clinical Fellow (CF) status are encouraged to apply, as they will join a supportive and collaborative staff.
