What do people ask before enrolling on the Paediatric Special-Needs Nutrition?
Does this qualify me to treat a child's medical or feeding disorder?
No. This is a supportive, educational course, not a clinical or therapeutic qualification. Feeding disorders and medical conditions in children must be managed by paediatricians, dietitians or feeding therapists. The course helps you understand and support, not diagnose or treat.
What certificate do I receive?
You receive an NNWA skill-enhancement certificate in Paediatric Special-Needs Nutrition. It recognises your practical knowledge; it is not a UGC degree and does not make you a paediatric dietitian or therapist.
I am a parent, not a professional. Is it for me?
Yes. The course is written to be accessible to parents and carers as well as practitioners. It is taught in English and Hindi in plain, compassionate language. It aims to reduce stress at the family table, not to add jargon.
Does it cover specific diagnoses?
It touches on feeding challenges that often accompany special needs in general, supportive terms rather than offering condition-specific medical protocols. For any diagnosis, individual guidance from a specialist is essential. The focus is on practical, everyday mealtime support.
How is the course delivered?
It is fully online and runs over about six weeks, taught in English and Hindi. You get lifetime access to recordings and mentor support throughout. Fees can be paid in full or through EMI.
