Collaboration across 4 clinics in 3 countries, beyond happy ☺️ & grateful 🙏 for the opportunity to team up🫛🥕with Drs. Phipps, Peterson, & S.A. Taylor! Everything you ever wanted to know about social validity in feeding:
“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.”

Social Validity: Reactions to Exposure
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.”
