Decreasing Expulsions by a Child with a Feeding Disorder: Using a Brush to Present and Re-Present Food
Girolami, Peter A.; Boscoe, James H.; Roscoe, Nicole
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v40 n4 p749-753 Win 2007
Previous research has demonstrated that extinction in the form of re-presentation of expelled bites is an effective intervention for treating food expulsion. The current study compared the effectiveness of re-presenting expulsions with a spoon to re-presenting with a Nuk[R] brush for a 4-year-old boy with a feeding disorder. Fewer expulsions were observed when using the brush for re-presentation, and further reductions were observed when the brush was also used for initial presentations. (Contains 1 figure.)
