Pediatric Psychologist, Feeding Disorders and Food Allergy • Opinions are my own








So proud that my wonderful colleague @KaitBProctor coauthored this piece in @AnnalsAllergy & that we already offer this in our routine allergy clinic. We treat the whole patient - & family - @childrensatl. Come see us! healio.com/news/allergy-a…



Excited to announce a virtual option for a multidisciplinary conference on 5/14-15 @childrensatl to focus on pediatric feeding problems. Many of our kids with allergies struggle - but there are solutions! Info below. Featuring @drlindaherbert @DrJennyThomas & more - join us!




New strategy to help manage #foodallergy and allergy-related #anxiety and overwhelm. 🌱 The “GROW Through Discomfort” technique helps you identify other reasons for your anxiety (not just risk) so you can grow through the discomfort. Learn more here: foodallergycounselor.com/blog/grow-thro…

@rebeccaknibb81 giving an update on our #GAPSstudy. Globally almost 80% of parents experience food allergy distress. For the lucky few caregivers who saw a mental health professional, less than half were referred and had to self-seek help #WAOBSACI2022

@AllergyKidsDoc @drlindaherbert Update for @orenphoto @EleanorGarrow @meconroy22 @AllergyKidsDoc @TherapistTamara @AJacksonAPD: we *will* have a virtual option for this meeting and would love for any and all to join us! Link here: web.cvent.com/event/f41acf6a…






Proud to share this collaborative work - all credit to @KaitBProctor @FullBelliesDoc & team. tl;dr: there is a shortage of validated tools, developed to NIH PROMIS or FDA standards, that can be used at the bedside to identify psychosocial distress in #foodallergy families

With #foodallergies, you must avoid allergens. But for some kids, needed avoidance can tip into very restricted eating & refusal of safe foods. It's a disorder called ARFID. Read this important article about ARFID & FA, and meet families grappling with it. @ATLergist

Our latest podcast is live: Preparing for the New School Year with #Allergies and #Asthma. Dr. Vickery @ATLergist joins us to discuss the Delta variant, safety of sending kids back to school and asthma/allergy management in the school setting. ow.ly/qSvf50FX3a2
