I was trained separately on group statistics and visual inspection of single-case experimental design, but not trained on objective supplements for visual inspection. After much searching I found this novel approach (machine learning/artificial intelligence) by Dr. Marc Lanovaz that is being used in many other fields such as medicine. This method could improve accuracy of decision making, training efficiency, and communicability/quantification of results.

“In this month’s issue, Sheila Klick, MEd, BCBA and Dr. Mary Jane Weiss, highlight the importance of carefully searching for and selecting, evidence-based treatment options when children are experiencing feeding issues. While reviewing research by Taylor & Taylor (2021), the authors describe how current recommendations may not align with current research, and how parents can beware of adverse reactions to these treatment options.” The distance between empirically-supported treatment and actual practice for paediatric feeding problems

I love data analysis and graphing. I was trained separately on group statistics and single-case experimental design, but not trained on objective supplements for visual inspection of single-case designs. After much searching I finally found this novel approach (machine learning/artificial intelligence) that is being used in many other fields such as medicine (e.g., data-driven COVID-19 care at Johns Hopkins).

“Another more typical example was an extreme premmie with a G-tube who had to learn his mealtime skills later in life. He had already been through an unsuccessful hospital admission that stopped the tube feedings to promote hunger.
This child had two intensive admissions with us, the second focusing on chewing and increasing food texture. He was such a trooper and learned it all! We’ll always remember his “graduation meal” where he was able to order off the menu at a cafe and drink from a cup instead of his mum having to pack formula and purées.”
