Kimberly Howard MS

Kimberly Howard holds an undergraduate degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology and a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy from West Virginia University. During her studies, she recognized a significant lack of resources for families in need of feeding therapy for their children, which inspired her to focus on this transformative area of care.

Over the past 23 years, Kimberly has built a distinguished career as an occupational therapist specializing in feeding therapy for children. She has worked in intensive feeding therapy programs at renowned institutions, including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend, Indiana, and Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital.

Currently, Kimberly is part of the Gastroenterology team at Nemours Children’s Hospital, where she collaborates with Dr. Hadeel Haddad to lead the semi-intensive feeding therapy program. This initiative empowers parents by teaching them feeding techniques that can be implemented at home, fostering lasting improvements in their children’s nutritional health.
