The Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach, developed by Dr. Kay Toomey, is a comprehensive, evidence-based program for evaluating and treating children with feeding difficulties. Amy is trained in this approach and incorporates it into her feeding therapy practice.
Common signs include gagging or vomiting during meals, extreme picky eating, refusal of new foods or textures, mealtime anxiety or tantrums, difficulty chewing or swallowing, or breastfeeding and bottle-feeding challenges in infants. If mealtimes are a consistent source of stress, an evaluation is a strong first step.
The initial evaluation is a comprehensive 1–4 hour session where Amy reviews your child's relevant history, observes them directly, assesses all applicable skill areas, and walks you through her findings and recommended next steps.
Take the first step today. Contact Amy to schedule a consultation — and discover what's possible when your child has the right support.
