Feeding Disorders
Abstract
It is common for those diagnosed with autism to have some type of feeding disorder. Understanding and trying to correct a feeding disorder can be very difficult and time-consuming. Consistent and intensive treatment is most necessary for the treatment of feeding disorders. Henry Roane provides treatment assessment considerations while giving clarity to operational definitions, types of feeding disorders, and evidence-based treatments. He also reviews how to create appropriate behavioral treatment plans for feeding issues, including accepting food, chewing, packing, spitting out, pica, and rumination.
