“Collectively, caregivers rated behaviour-analytic treatments high in social validity and treatments were highly effective. Caregivers reported increased broader quality of life and lasting positive impacts, decreased stress, and lack of negative effects.”
“Accurate dissemination is needed to increase earlier access to effective feeding treatment for families and specialised training for professionals to promote data-based and individualised decision-making in this vital area.”

“…many caregivers have questions that are both specific and challenging. The starting point to answering them is oftentimes the pediatrician, which is a great first step, except that most pediatricians aren’t equipped to deal with the complexity of feeding issues and autism.”

Early empirically-supported treatment for paediatric feeding is paramount to most areas of a child’s life, but largely limited to multidisciplinary hospitals in USA. Most children internationally are not receiving effective timely treatment. We present controlled outcomes of successful translation of solely behaviour-analytic treatment to in-home Australia with gains maintained to 2 years. This can have enduring rippling benefits and prevent significant impact to child development/health and waste of critical time/funding.
