Katie Barber is one of the first people you will meet. Known as “Miss Katie” to our kids, she is here to ease your child’s anxiety as they receive treatment in the ASK Clinic. Katie uses medical play to teach kids about what they are going through, like accessing their port. Katie talks with kids to help them understand what the doctors and nurses are doing to make it less scary. ​ She also gets kids to focus on activities like crafts, games, and playing with toys. What looks like play is really a clever way to help kids feel less stress at clinic! She may encourage your child to do an art project or engage in pretend play to help them express their feelings. Other times she is teaching kids how to find their voice and speak up for what makes them comfortable. Close
