This living document includes a variety of safety resource products for your family to consider, and the team of DDBP Social Workers updates this regularly with new, fresh resources. The products and resources do not replace supervision, which is essential to keeping your child safe. The products listed are not being endorsed, but rather to give you ideas on products that could be helpful.
Join the Department of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (DDBP) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for a 1-hour class led by a DDBP Registered Dietician (RD) that specializes in the nutritional needs of children with developmental disabilities. Parent and caregivers are invited to learn wats to promote a balanced diet and help picky eaters during mealtimes. Due to limited capacity on Zoom, registration is required and costs $10 per family.
