Description

Increasing healthy food choices for selective eaters with autism can have a positive effect on the child's health as well as opportunities for social engagement with peers. This presentation will highlight the steps LEND students at our ABA treatment clinic implemented during a three-day-a-week collaborative feeding program geared toward acceptance of healthy foods across all settings. Once successful in therapy, the skill was successfully generalized to home and school.
