SOS Approach to Feeding

The Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) feeding approach integrates motor, oral, behavioral/learning, medical, sensory and nutritional factors and approaches in order to comprehensively evaluate and manage children with feeding/growth concerns. The SOS feeding therapy approach is based on typical developmental feeding steps, stages and skills found in children. 

Mealtime is supposed to be a healthy activity that involves nourishing our bodies, refilling our energy stores, and communing with our loved ones — if it all goes well. But as many parents know, feeding your child can often present a range of challenges.

Most children with feeding issues are either experiencing oral-motor issues, sensory issues, or a combination of both.

  • Oral-motor: Children who lack the oral-motor skills to manage food will often pocket the food in their gums, gag, refuse, vomit, or spit out food. Eating can actually be dangerous for a child who is behind on oral-motor skills, and your child may be refusing food as a self-defense mechanism to avoid choking.

  •  Sensory: Sensory issues can be complicated, but if a child refuses to eat due to sensory reasons, it’s generally due to either hypo-sensitivities, which means there is little to no oral awareness, or hyper-sensitivities, which are the result of too much awareness.

If you are worried about your child's eating, Freedom2Funtion can offer in-home feeding therapy. Please contact us for more information.
