Summary

The primary aim of the project is to develop and pilot a manualized, individually delivered Parent Training Program for Feeding Problems (PT-F) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to assess feasibility and parent acceptance of the program. The secondary aim of the project is to assess the success of the PT-F program in improving mealtime behavior problems when compared to the wait-list control.

Exploratory aims include obtaining preliminary data on the impact of PT-F on child and parent functioning (reducing parent stress and improving parent sense of competency and parent-child interactions at mealtime), assessing the impact of treatment on interfering behaviors around mealtime/snack times, and measuring nutritional improvements after treatment.
