PAEDIATRIC DIETITIAN

Claire is a Senior Dietitian with over 16 years of clinical experience including The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, where she worked in the Feeding and Nutrition Support Service and the Multidisciplinary Feeding Clinic, supporting children and families with a wide range of clinical and feeding conditions, many of whom required feeding tubes to meet their nutrition requirements and benefitted from a multidisciplinary team approach to their care.

Claire is passionate about working with children and families who experience a wide range of different nutrition concerns including fussy eating and mealtime difficulties, faltering or poor growth, food allergies/intolerances, nutrient deficiencies and NDIS Disability including tube feeding. As a mum of two school-aged children, Claire understands the challenges and pressures of feeding small children and approaches her work with empathy and compassion. She enjoys being able to support her clients through adjusting their nutrition to their individual needs, whilst also encouraging an enjoyment of and love for food and supporting families to create positive mealtimes.

  • My grandson has Autism, ADHD, ARFID, and Anxiety. Through his extremely limited diet he has several very serious vitamin deficiencies which are affecting his bones and his eyesight. Through his ill health we were advised to see Simone Wright (Paediatric Dietitian). She has been an absolute life saver for my grandson and my sanity. She has worked tirelessly to ensure he has all the supplements, and vitamins required to improve his health and keep him well. She is very caring and patient and understanding. I would recommend anybody with any Feeding differences to contact Kids Feeding Specialists.

  • Simone was absolutely amazing with my 8 year old daughter. We had been to see many specialists before without any success but when we went to see Simone and implemented her feeding suggestions and ideas around medication, my daughter is like a different child. She has put on weight and has more energy. Simone listened to her complex history and then tackled the issue in a practical and common sense way. I am so grateful and would recommend her to anyone who has a child who is struggling with nutritional issues. She is also very kind.

  • My son has been seeing Kids Feeding Specialists for feeding therapy. I cannot be more happier and thankful for meeting these two amazing women who helped and continue to help my son go from extremely averse to food to now exploring food with his mouth.

    I almost gave up and never thought I’d see my son put food in his mouth. Within weeks of seeing them my son started to show interest with his oral feeding.

    They are very supportive and attentive to each child and their individual needs. They catered for my son very precisely to his specific needs.

    Thank you Kids Feeding Specialists, you are work of magic.

  • Simone, Amanda and Mearelle have been miracle workers with my little girl. For the first time I felt like my concerns were listened to. With their support my girl (18 months old) has successfully been weaned off her NG tube and I can’t thank them enough.
