Analysis and Treatment of Challenging Eating and Mealtime Behaviors for Children on the Autism Spectrum
CONTENT
Does your student/child have an extremely self-limiting diet? Will s/he only eat food of a certain texture or color? Does s/he still drink from a baby bottle or eat baby food despite being past the age where this is expected? Are mealtimes difficult because your student/child refuses to remain seated, or insists on using a specific bowl, cup, or utensil? Is eating a meal in a restaurant a challenge because of unwanted behavior or difficulty waiting for the food to arrive? Perhaps there are other behaviors that make eating and mealtimes a challenge?
