In Pediatric Considerations for Secondary Measures Throughout Intensive, for this course, the practical stakes show up in safe, humane intervention that respects health variables and daily-life feasibility, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Approximately 25-35% of typically developing children and up to 80-90% of children with autism may experience persistent feeding difficulties which require intensive feeding interventions (Sharp et al., 2017). This symposium will focus on recent research considering what secondary measures should be evaluated during intensive feeding therapy. The first presentation will discuss evaluating the sociability of children in an intensive feeding program and their therapists. The second presentation will discuss an extension of the Grauerholz-Fisher et al. (2019) study to evaluate safe care practices in an intensive feeding program. The third presentation will focus on the feasibility of measuring child behavior during daily transitions into clinic while receiving behavioral feeding services and the social validity of measuring transitions during a child's participation in feeding treatment. Overall, these talks will provide the audience with considerations to make when evaluating the effectiveness, safety, social validity, and participation in intensive feeding interventions. As such, findings will also be discussed considering implications for practicing behavior analysts.
