Kate Miller, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC

What I Do: I design, develop, and implement training, tools, and interventions around feeding and disability in support of SPOON's programs. I collaborate with other members of the Program Team to support implementation of SPOON's programs and to foster strong relationships with our partners and stakeholders.

Background: I am a Speech-Language Pathologist and certified lactation consultant. Prior to joining SPOON, I spent nearly 10 years working with infants and children in healthcare settings, specializing in pediatric feeding and swallowing, and lecturing in graduate-level courses. See my LinkedIn profile.

Favorite SPOON Memory: I think of my excitement when I first heard about SPOON's vision to create a low-cost seating solution so that more children had access to supportive and safe positioning for mealtime. I still recall the first meeting we had with the product designer, Utensile, and the long list of problems we set out to solve. Since then, it has been a journey from brainstorming, to that first CAD drawing, to an actual prototype. I have enjoyed the process of collaborating with experts, reading current research, getting input from parents and children, refining the design, and testing out the SPOON chair.
