Chapters

Every therapist that trains through one of our courses means that there's dozens of children that are going to get the care that they deserve. So I'm like, if I can train thousands of therapists, I can exponentially reach tens of thousands of children. I could never do that inside my practice in a single year. It's become really, really exciting because we have had over 2,500 graduates from Feed the PEDs, SLPs, OTs, SLPA, CODA. I think mostly fully licensed professionals, but we do have some in there who also work with the licensed professionals, like COD or Slippas, to help carry out some therapy that, you know, is provided to them in a treatment plan and with some guidance. And again, it's just expanding the access through the providers who are licensed to provide the care. Right. That's how we get all these children off. Waiting list.
