Some children are not just picky eaters. Your child may have sensitivities to temperature and textures that are not just related to food issues. Our Occupational and Speech Therapists are trained in the Sequential Oral
Sensory
or "SOS" approach to feeding. Determining “why” a child is not eating is critical to a treatment program. The problems can be medical, neurological, behavioral, psychological or sensory based. Medical problems need to first be ruled out (i.e. Reflux, aspiration)

If in fact the child is having a difficult time processing sensory information a thorough sensory evaluation is completed. Based on results a treatment program is established. Progress with feeding may be minimal until the underlying delays in sensory processing are corrected. The therapists at Sensory Solutions, LLC are trained to perform evaluations and establish a treatment plan that will improve functional skills including feeding. Once the sensory system is organized an intense feeding program will begin.
