Some children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) have developed cognitive (learning) deficits. The Intestinal Care Center has the ability to test children with SBS and develop plans of care that can be used both at home and in school. This testing is done with the help of our colleagues in pediatric neuropsychology at the University of Pittsburgh. Currently, we are able to test children ages 3 through 12. Based on some of our early findings, many children with SBS have visual spatial defects and overall learning difficulties. Read more.

We believe that successful post-transplant nutrition management requires an interdisciplinary team approach, careful monitoring and gradual adjustments. Read more.
