About the Conference

The Sequential Oral Sensory (S.O.S.) Approach to Feeding workshop is a trans-disciplinary program for assessment and treating children with feeding difficulties and weight/growth problems from birth to 18 years of age. It integrates posture, sensory, motor, behavioral/learning, medical and nutritional factors to comprehensively evaluate and manage children with feeding/growth problems.

The 4-day in-person intermediate-level conference is geared towards practitioners with a general working knowledge of current practice trends and literature related to the subject matter such as Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists, Dieticians, Special Educators, Early Intervention Specialists, Nurses, Psychologists, Physicians, Mental Health Workers, other Child Care Providers, and Educators. Techniques and objectives learned may benefit babies, toddlers, and small children. Other ages and special populations are covered in the advanced workshops.
