Sequential-Oral-Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding
The Sequential-Oral-Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding program is highly regarded in the field for assessing and treating children with feeding and weight/growth difficulties. The program utilizes principles and practices from multiple disciplines including psychology, pediatrics, occupational therapy, dietetics, and speech-language pathology. The approach combines sensory, motor, oral, behavioral/learning, medical, and nutritional factors and approaches in order to fully evaluate and manage children with feeding/growth problems. The approach is grounded philosophically in the stages and skills of feeding/eating found in typically developing children. The theory and methods have been developed by Dr. Kay Toomey based on over 30 years of work with children who have difficulty with feeding and eating. Mrs. Freise underwent training under Dr. Toomey to offer this approach at Speech By The Beach Consulting LLC.
