SOS Approach to feeding

The SOS (sequential-oral-sensory) Approach to Feeding, created by psychologist Kay Toomey, is built upon the idea of using play with a purpose to help children with feeding challenges move up the “steps to eating.” Their website, found here, offers a wide variety of information and supports for families. They also offer a free, 2-hour parent support workshop, found here.
