The SOS Approach to Feeding

The SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Approach to Feeding is a structured method designed to help children with feeding difficulties. It emphasizes a positive relationship with food and a gradual exposure to different textures and flavors. The approach focuses on four key areas: sensory experiences, motor skill development, behavioral aspects of eating, and nutritional aspects. By using playful techniques and a non-pressuring environment, the SOS Approach encourages children to explore foods at their own pace, ultimately helping them become more comfortable and confident eaters. This method is beneficial for children with a variety of feeding challenges.
