Product Description:

Nutrition Focus is a bimonthly newsletter that focuses on nutritional challenges of children with special health care needs and their families. The newsletter is written for health care providers and others who serve children with special health care needs. The goal of the newsletter is to increase awareness of nutritional issues and share useful assessment and intervention strategies within the health care community. It is estimated that 40% of all children with special health care needs may be at risk for nutrition problems. If these problems are addressed early by qualified health professionals, the outcomes are appropriate growth, improved health status, fewer hospitalizations and cost savings in overall health care expenditures. Nutrition Focus is a vehicle for disseminating timely, evidence-based and practical information that allows health care providers to effectively address the nutritional issues of children with special health care needs.
