The Washington State Community Feeding Team Survey

The Washington State Community Feeding Teams provide family-centered, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive evaluation and services focusing on feeding and nutrition concerns for children with special health care needs. As part of an interdisciplinary team, providers are able to address feeding and nutrition concerns in a cost-effective manner that can benefit families by avoiding multiple visits and duplicated services. The feeding teams work directly with families to set up intervention goals and plans.

No comprehensive instruments have evaluated the current status and services provided by each team. This project involved developing an assessment instrument to evaluate the current service procedures and models being used by each feeding team with the goal of evaluating the services provided by feeding teams and prioritize/identify training and support for their work with children with special health care needs.
