Community based services 
Ability WA have recently started running an Early Mealtime Service (EMS). EMS is a Telethon funded (FREE) service which supports children, under 7 years old, who are experiencing feeding and mealtime challenges.

​The EMS’ multidisciplinary team of therapists work with parents and caregivers to identify a child’s individual goals and unique mealtime needs, before developing practical strategies to make mealtimes a fun and positive experience. The team consists of Clinical Leads in Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics and Social Work.
