    For more than three years, MAC Georgia has worked in partnership with the Jo Ann Medical Center to strengthen its overall pediatric care. Offering weekly consultations, MAC supports the clinic's doctors, psychologists, and nursing staff with child feeding needs and strategies. They work closely with both medical staff and families to implement interventions such as simple oral stimulations, proper positioning, and the incorporation of adaptive technology to encourage the initiation of oral feeding.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>
