This therapeutic approach has been developed and refined through the clinical work of Dr. Kay Toomey and other colleagues from other disciplines such as occupational therapists, pediatricians, dietitians, speech language therapists. This program integrates posture, sensory, motor, behavioral/ learning, medical, and nutritional factors to comprehensively evaluate and manage children with feeding/ growth problems. Philosophy of the program is based on the “normal” developmental steps, stages, and skills of feeding found in typically developing children. The SOS Approach is a family centered care program and therefore family is an integral part of all assessment and treatment. This seminar focuses in the assessment and treatment of children from birth until the age of 18 years old. Particular emphasis is given in the early intervention of small children, ages 0 to 6 years old. This program is appropriate for children that may have neurological deficits and/or medical conditions, children in the autistic spectrum, children with oral-motor and/or sensory processing deficits, as well as “picky eaters”. Course Objectives: Participants attending will be able to: 1.Identify oral, sensory, motor, cognitive and emotional developmental milestones key to feeding. 2.Recognize and describe the major reasons why children won’t eat, as based on learning theory principles. 3.Identify physical, behavioral, motor, oral-motor, and sensory factors as a part of a Feeding Assessment. 4.Apply behavioral and social learning principles, and systematic desensitization to feeding problems. 5.Create and implement a S.O.S feeding program for toddlers and young children, in group and individual treatment formats.
