When Children Won't Eat: Picky Eaters vs. Problem Feeders - Assessment and Treatment Using the SOS Approach to Feeding

Description

This conference is designed to help professionals assess and treat children with Feeding Disorders and other Feeding Difficulties using the SOS Approach to Feeding. The Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding is a transdisciplinary program designed to help professionals understand the multi-factorial complexity of Feeding Problems, as well as how to identify areas needing intervention ad how to treat the 'whole' child. It integrates posture, sensory, motor, behavioral/learning, medical, and nutritional factors to comprehensively evaluate and manage children with feeding/growth problems.
The focus will be assessing and treating, babies and young children with Feeding Difficulties and Feeding Disorders. This includes 'problem feeders' who may have mild to moderate neurological impairments and/or medical disorders, children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, children with motor, oral-motor and/or sensory dysfunction, as well as 'picky eaters'.
