CHoR’s July Calendar kid: Kevin
Like many 4-year-olds, Kevin was a picky eater, plus he had food allergies to contend with as well. In 2022, Kevin’s allergist referred him for feeding therapy at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.
“He originally came in as a highly selective eater with allergies and some anxiety,” said Amaka Winslow, the speech-language pathologist on Kevin’s feeding team.
Amaka and psychologist Dr. Sarah Benton worked with Kevin on trying foods of various textures, tastes and colors, which wasn’t easy for a little one with food aversions. His great attitude definitely helped.
