Study Summary
This investigation proposes to examine the effectiveness of a technology supported treatment manual for pediatric feeding disorders. Children with pediatric feeding disorders display intense avoidance behaviors (e.g., crying, tantrums, and disruptions) that prevent appropriate nutritional intake during meals and lead to a number of negative and potentially life threatening medical outcomes, including chronic malnutrition, growth retardation, and placement of a feeding tube. To date, behavioral intervention involving extinction-based procedures represents the only treatment for pediatric feeding disorders supported by research to improve mealtime behaviors. Due to the chronic and extreme nature of food refusal, treatment typically requires intensive, daily intervention conducted at highly specialized clinics to improve feeding behaviors. The cost and duration of intervention can total as much as $60,000 per child requiring up to 6 to 8 weeks, respectively. The potential for serious consequences associated with chronic food refusal, combined with the high cost of treatment, intensifies the need to identify means to disseminate effective treatment approaches to the broader community of healthcare providers. The proposed study represents the first attempt to systematically investigate the use of a treatment manual to address chronic food aversion through a randomized, waitlist control trial in children treated at the Marcus Autism Center's Pediatrics Feeding Disorders Program. This study will involve a total of 20 participants randomly assigned to experimental conditions: technology supported treatment manual or waitlist control group (10 in each group). Children assigned to the waitlist control group will receive the technology supported treatment manual after the specified time on the waitlist. All participants will receive the same behavioral protocol involving three treatment sessions per day (45 minutes in length), for a total of 15 sessions across five consecutiv
