SOS Feeding Therapy

Does your child have difficulty eating a range of food ? 

• Eats less than 20 foods? 
• Refuses entire food groups based on texture, taste or smell? 
• Cries, screams or tantrums when new foods are presented?
• Often eats a different meal from the rest of the family at meal times?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions- this might be the program for your child.

What is the SOS feeding program ? 

The Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) feeding program is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to help fussy eaters tolerate a wider range of food. The program supports children to interact with food in a way that focuses on play and desensitisation towards different food textures and tastes - in a non-stressful and playful environment. 

How does it work ? 

• Therapist conducts face to face pre-assessment to find out about your child's feeding needs
• Individual feeding sessions with a qualified SOS therapist 
• Support with strategies for the home environment 
• Sessions can take place at the clinic, home or school (Home and clinic sessions have shown best results) 
• Post assessment session and report

SOS feeding program is a 13 hour program. It is best for children to have a NDIS funding package or similar fund source to help pay for the cost of the program.
