Capernaum is sponsoring an advanced conference for therapists October 25-27 with the world-renown Dr. Kay Toomey from Denver.  She has kindly agreed to provide an educational evening for parents of children with feeding problems. Parents and caregivers of children who will not eat are faced with a difficult and often puzzling challenge. Because the interplay between weight gain and a child’s experience with food can be complicated, there is rarely an easy solution when a feeding problem arises. In this workshop, Dr. Toomey will outline the SOS Approach which uses a trans-disciplinary team approach to assess the “whole child.”

Dr. Toomey is a Pediatric Psychologist who has worked for almost 20 years with children who don’t eat. She has developed the SOS Approach to Feeding as a family-centered program for assessing and treating children with feeding problems. Dr. Toomey speaks nationally and internationally about her approach. She also acts as a consultant to Gerber Products. Dr. Toomey helped to form The Children’s Hospital – Denver’s Pediatric Oral Feeding Clinic, as well as the Rose Medical Center’s Pediatric Feeding Center. She co-chaired the Pediatric Therapy Services Department at Rose Medical Center prior to entering private practice. Dr. Toomey is currently the President of Toomey & Associates, Inc., as well as the Clinical Director of SOS Feeding Solutions @ STAR (Sensory Therapy and Research Center) with Dr. Lucy Jane Miller.
