SEQUENTIAL ORAL SENSORY FEEDING (SOS)
At Beelieve Paediatric Therapy, we're on a mission to make mealtimes a delightful experience for your child and the rest of the family through our Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Feeding approach. We understand that feeding challenges can be a source of concern for both children and parents, and we're here to provide evidence-based support that truly makes a difference. With our SOS Feeding Therapy, we aim to bring the fun back to mealtime.
The SOS Feeding approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, offering a structured yet enjoyable path to expand your child's food horizons. Our primary focus is to promote feeding through play, allowing your child to explore and engage with food in a stress-free environment. We guide them through the SOS Feeding Therapy with steps to feeding, gradually increasing their food options, and nurturing a positive relationship with meals.
While Occupational Therapy plays a pivotal role in addressing feeding challenges, we understand that these difficulties can stem from various sources. At Beelieve Paediatric Therapy, we advocate for holistic care, recognising that your child's feeding journey may require collaboration with a multidisciplinary team. We work closely with your existing support network to ensure comprehensive care tailored to your child's unique needs.

The SOS Feeding Approach is a gentle, step-by-step, play-based method designed to help children feel more comfortable with food. Rather than forcing a child to eat, it introduces new foods through fun activities, encouraging them to interact with the food by seeing, touching, and playing with it before moving on to smelling, tasting, and eventually eating it. This approach allows children to explore food in a relaxed, playful way and at their own pace, making mealtimes less stressful and more enjoyable for both the child and family. It’s especially effective for picky eaters or those sensitive to certain textures or tastes.
For some children, a multi-disciplinary approach is essential to ensure a safe and successful journey toward better eating habits. At Beelieve Paediatric Therapy, we collaborate closely with your child’s existing support network, including speech pathologists, dietitians, and paediatricians, to provide a well-rounded plan. If a swallowing assessment is needed, we can refer you to an SOS-trained speech pathologist to ensure all aspects of feeding safety are addressed. This team-based approach ensures that your child receives the best care tailored to their unique needs.

-
Play-Based Exploration: SOS encourages children to interact with food through play, while other approaches may focus on compliance or restriction.
-
Pressure-Free Learning: SOS allows kids to explore foods at their own pace without pressure to eat, unlike methods that may force or coerce them to consume certain foods.
-
Focus on Comfort: The SOS approach prioritizes a child's comfort with food, reducing anxiety and making mealtime enjoyable, whereas traditional methods may overlook emotional factors.
-
Step-by-Step Introduction: SOS introduces new foods gradually, starting with seeing and touching before moving to tasting, which contrasts with other strategies that may expect immediate acceptance.
-
Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration: SOS emphasizes working with a team of professionals, including SOS-trained speech pathologists and dietitians, for comprehensive support, while other approaches might not incorporate such collaboration.
-
Specialised Training: Our Occupational Therapist, Rochelle, has international certification in the SOS Feeding Approach, ensuring expert guidance tailored to your child's unique needs, unlike some other programs that may lack specialized training.
