The first presentation will discuss the effects of simultaneous presentation on packing. The second presentation will review data on the possible implications of adding choice during gradual exposure of novel foods. Finally, the last presentation will show data related to generalization outcomes across foods that are similar and dissimilar to target foods. Overall, these talks will provide the audience with different strategies that should be considered in response to concerns like expanding food variety and decreasing corollary mealtime behavior. Findings will also be discussed in the context of implications for practicing behavior analysts who encounter children with feeding concerns.

Dr. Vivian Ibañez received her Masters degree in Behavior Analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 2014 and Ph.D. in Behavior Analysis from the University of Nebraska Medical Center under the mentorship of Dr. Cathleen Piazza, followed by postdoctoral training at the University of Florida (UF). Currently, she is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at UF and the Clinical Director of the Intensive Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program at the Florida Autism Center’s Specialty Clinic, in collaboration with the UF Health Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment. Before these roles, she developed her expertise in the assessment and treatment of severe feeding difficulties through various positions at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, Munroe-Meyer Institute, and Children’s Specialized Hospital. Dr. Ibañez’s research has focused on enhancing the effectiveness of behavior-analytic feeding treatments and facilitating the transfer of care from clinicians to caregivers. Expanding specialized services has also led to a passion for consumer advocacy, public policies affecting access to behavior-analytic feeding services, and training for practitioners in community-based settings.
