May is an important month to recognize some extremely valuable professionals (thank you teachers and nurses!). It is also Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) Awareness month. I work with families who struggle with PFD everyday, and its impacts are felt throughout the entire family unit, not just the child.

Feeding Matters is the first organization in the world uniting families, healthcare professionals, and the broader community to improve the system of care for children with pediatric feeding disorder through advocacy, education, support, and research.

Take a moment to check out their IG page or website www.feedingmatters.org to learn a bit more about PFD and how you can be an advocate and increase awareness too.

ATTENTION NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS

🚨⚠️ If you have are a parent, caregiver or family member of a child who has ever spent time on the wait list for early intervention services or

🚨⚠️if you are are a current, former or future early intervention provider or

🚨⚠️ if you understand how impactful calling and writing your representatives actually does matter..

Please consider calling your state senator and your assembly member about this. Your call and your voice matters.

Advocating for this rate increase will encourage more SLPs to work in early intervention, a setting that has been grossly underpaid for years which directly contributes to the tremendous waitlist, preventing children from getting the services they deserve.
