Why did Kelli create this course?
Attune2Food was created by feeding specialist and pediatric dietitian Kelli Borgman, MS, RDN, CD, as a solution after years of working with families and children in their homes and educational settings, as well as working with multi-disciplinary teams of therapists, pediatricians, and education providers. Attune2Food covers the topics and important conversations Kelli and the other therapists would cover with each family to make sure the family had a firm foundation for navigating their child’s eating journey.
Attune2Food does not take the place of working with and talking directly to their child’s team of therapists or providers. It is a helpful educational tool and adjunct to local care.
