Lisa Moane is trained in SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Feeding Therapy. This is a world-renowned, evidence-based approach to feeding, developed by Dr Kaye Toomey in USA

The approach helps fussy eaters and children with feeding problems to develop the skills they need to enjoy a balanced, healthy diet and a positive attitude towards food. It looks at increasing a child’s comfort level by interacting with food in a playful, non-stressful way. Beginning with tolerating the food in the room, moving on to touching, kissing, and eventually tasting and eating foods. It is a multi-disciplinary approach which assesses the ‘whole child’- to pinpoint the reason’s why a child is having difficulty with the skill of eating.

SOS Feeding Therapy Service may be appropriate for your child if they present with:

• Limited variety of foods in diet
• Refusal of entire food groups
• Poor weight gain/ underweight
• Transitioning from tube-feeding to oral-feeding
• Mealtimes that are distressing for the family

Lisa has completed additional SOS workshops on the following topics:

• Feeding the 6-16 month old child
• Feeding the child on the Autism Spectrum
• Food Scientist Model:  SOS approach to feeding for the school age child

Lisa combines an SOS approach to feeding with nutritional and biomedical factors to design a plan highly individualised to your child’s needs.  To book a 20 minute consultation to see if this approach is suitable for your child, click here.
