The SOS Approach uses a trans-disciplinary team
approach which assess the “whole child”:
 organ systems
 muscles
 development
 sensory
 oral-motor
 learning/behavior
 cognition
 nutrition
 environment
The program is an effective way to address
problematic feeding behaviors in a variety of
settings and populations.
Parents and caregivers of children who will not
eat are faced with a difficult and often puzzling
challenge.
Because the interplay between weight gain and a
child’s experience of food can be complicated,
there is rarely an easy solution when a feeding
problem arises.
The SOS Approach focuses on increasing a child’s
comfort level by exploring and learning about the
different properties of food and allows a child to
interact with food in a playful, non-stressful way,
beginning with the ability to tolerate the food in
the room and in front of him/her; then moving on
to touching, kissing, and eventually tasting and
eating foods.

afholder basic kursus i
Danmark, september 2016
Ved at deltage i kurserne vil du lære
utroligt meget om behandling af
spiseproblemer hos børn.
Behandlings konceptet er multifagligt og bygger
udelukkende på positiv forstærkning = Barnets
kompetencer opbygges med respekt for dets
grænser. (Der veksles mellem komfortzone og
nærmeste udviklingszone)
