Behavioral Treatments for Pediatric Feeding Disorders
Linscheid, Thomas R.
Behavior Modification, v30 n1 p6-23 2006
The effectiveness of behavioral interventions for pediatric feedings problems has been well documented. However, the application of these procedures in the real world is often more complex and difficult than research reports reveal. Multiple factors such as the child's medical condition and history, medical monitoring requirements, and the need to adjust treatment procedures as intervention progresses make it difficult to follow the best-laid plans developed from reading structured and highly controlled experimental applications. This article details factors to be considered in the actual clinical-based application of behavioral procedures in the treatment of pediatric feeding problems. A description of how referrals are generated and initial assessment is conducted, and a model for inpatient treatment is presented. In addition, the need for efficient and effective treatment in the real world is stressed.
