Feeding and drinking


A special diet is given to each child by our professional dietician, who works together with our medical team, the house mother, the other professionals of the different departments, the kitchen staff and the caregivers of the children. Our dietician makes sure that each child has a healthy diet.






Feeding is a very important part of our childrens lives. To know how to feed a child in the correct manner is one of the most important part of our work in St Vincent. For this reason we have trained speech therapists and occupational therapists both in the school and in the afternoon activities, who assist both the caregivers and the child in this very complex and professional job. Below are pictures taken of our Spanish volunteer who is a professional in this field.



We also have an Occupational Therapist from Germany who is training the children to become independent in eating and drinking.







Eating and drinking can be fun..............
