For ARFID, there is a need for education and training of healthcare professionals and IDT collaboration. Established treatments like behaviour analysis should be considered.
“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.”
11 skills in just 2 weeks! Took tedious hard work, but he eventually was a little chopstick expert, even with small vitamins. Another one of my favourite/tippie-top treatment arrangements, plus important novel cultural caregiver perspectives shared including on social validity.
Low percentages of children have negative reactions to exposure, these reactions are brief, positive results are quick, and parents receiving proper support rate treatment highly positively.
“Given the majority of the patients had ng or g-tube dependence and nearly half met failure-to-thrive, these robust outcomes are quite promising for those with pediatric feeding disorders.”
On multimodal social validity assessment (including direct objective recipient measures) with heaps of practical implications, and one of my most preferred/tippie top/fun treatment arrangements and data collection keys to add (h = happy) ever. Variety record 224 🥇
Follow-up of 47 children with no negative ratings or side-effects found. Results suggest that behavior-analytic intervention in an intensive feeding program produced positive short- and long-term outcomes for children and their families.
