    *What is SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory)?

    SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) is a feeding treatment program that uses typical developmental steps of feeding to create a systematic hierarchy of skills and/or behaviours which are needed for children and young people to progress with eating a variety of tastes and textures and achieving appropriate growth.

    The SOS program is often used for children with highly restricted diets and aims to increase the range of foods that they will eat. This approach includes a significant parent involvement and education component to ensure that you are able to continue with the strategies in the home and generalise the skills. This program requires specific training for professionals to be certified.
