The
Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding
SOS is a treatment approach developed by Dr. Kay Toomey.
This program integrates sensory, motor, oral,
behavioral/learning, medical and nutritional factors in
order to comprehensively evaluate and manage children
with feeding problems.
SOS is based on normal developmental steps, stages
and skills of feeding typically found in children. It
uses a systematic desensitization hierarchy of skills
necessary for children to progress with eating various
textures and a variety of foods.
This program has been helpful in assisting many
children with a variety of feeding needs and diagnoses,
especially children who are picky eaters. Sessions focus
on actively exploring and eventually tasting new foods.
This program does not teach children to eat specific
foods by request.
TREATMENT OPTIONS:
We offer 1:1 sessions or small
group sessions depending on your child’s needs
PARENT AND HOME PROGRAMS:
Parents are required to attend informational sessions
and/or observe treatment sessions in order to begin to
carry over and use this approach at home.
