We provide family-centered and child-led in-home feeding therapy. Our trained feeding therapists utilize the SOS Approach to reduce frustration and increase children’s confidence and comfort around mealtime. The SOS Approach to Feeding program is a nationally and internationally recognized approach for assessing and treating children with feeding difficulties. This program takes into consideration the whole child and treatment integrates posture, sensory, motor, behavioral/learning, medical, and nutritional factors. The SOS Approach is effective in treating children with feeding difficulties and weight/growth problems.

Possible signs of feeding problems include: 

  • Poor nutrition
  • Less than normal weight gain/growth
  • Trouble breathing when eating or drinking
  • Choking, gagging or coughing during mealtimes
  • Arching their back or crying during mealtimes
  • Tantrums when presented with new foods
  • Excessive drooling or spillage of foods/liquids from the mouth
  • Difficulty chewing or swallowing food
  • Ongoing vomiting
  • Restricted variety of foods eaten – less than 20
  • Refusal of categories of food based on texture or basic food group
  • Refusal to eat meals with the family, is difficult for everyone to feed
