This 120-minute webcast provides an overview of the use of applied behavior analytic principles to assess and treat food refusal and selectivity. Feeding problems are common in children, affecting those with developmental disabilities and medical conditions as well as children who are typically developing (Laud, et al., 2009). Recent figures suggest the prevalence of feeding problems in children with ASD is as high as 90% (Volkert & Vaz, 2010). A child with feeding problems can cause stressors to his or her own health and ability to learn in addition to causing stress on the family (making multiple meals, throwing away food, etc.) and impacting social opportunities (people socialize over meals).

Feeding problems in children with ASD are treatable. The same as any challenging behavior, the behavior must first be assessed to determine the maintaining variables and determine potential reinforcers to increase food consumption. This presentation will provide examples of common indirect assessment tools with guidance on how to use the information. Following, we will provide you with examples of descriptive assessments along with the use of functional analysis to ensure the results are experimentally determined. Following the results of the assessment, we will provide commonly used evidence-based procedures, antecedent, and consequent-based, to increase food consumption. In addition, we will provide an overview of the legal and ethical considerations around the treatment of feeding problems.

This event will total 120 minutes with a review of practice and methodology designed for teachers, paraprofessionals, BCABAs and BCBAs working with persons with autism and/or supervising direct treatment staff, and other professionals working with children with autism and related disorders.

Upon completion of Treating Food Refusal & Selectivity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Review, participants will:

1. Identify commonly used assessments for treating food refusal and selectivity.
2. Identity commonly used evidence-based behavior analytic procedures for treating food refusal and selectivity.
3. Identify legal and ethical considerations around the treatment of feeding problems.
