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.
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.
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.
