Picky Eaters Vs. Problem Feeders: The SOS Approach to Feeding
By Kay Toomey, PhD; Amanda Lester, CCC-SLP; and Erin Sundseth Ross, PhD, CCC-SLP
This transdisciplinary program has been developed over 15 years through the clinical work of Dr. Kay Toomey, together with colleagues from several other disciplines. It integrates sensory, motor, oral, behavioral, medical, and nutritional approaches to comprehensively evaluate and manage children with feeding or growth problems. It is grounded in the developmental steps, stages and skills of feeding found in typically developing children. The program uses a systematic desensitization hierarchy of skills needed for children to progress.
Dr. Kay Toomey is a renowned pediatric psychologist who developed this approach as a family-centered program for assessing and treating children’s feeding problems. Dr. Toomey also helped to create the Denver Children’s Hospital Feeding Clinic and Rose Medical’s Pediatric Feeding Center. Her feeding clinic recently became part of Dr. Lucy Jane Miller’s STAR Center; it is now called SOS Feeding Solutions at STAR.
Amanda Lester is a pediatric speech language pathologist who has specialized in treating children with emotional disorders in addition to their other issues. She has worked with Dr. Toomey since 2005 and currently also works at a Denver hospital covering inpatient and outpatient pediatric speech, language and feeding needs.
