Summary

The purpose of this study is to further develop the integrated Eating Aversion Treatment (iEAT) manual, which is designed to address chronic food aversion in children with chronic food refusal. This study will evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the iEAT manual when it is used in the home home environment with caregivers.

Conditions

  • Feeding and Eating Disorders of Childhood

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

iEAT Manual Intervention

The iEAT manual guides caretakers in increasing the volume of food consumed by the child. The manual involves a touch screen application that collects and stores data on key behaviors and provides the feeder with direction for structuring treatment meals. Sessions will be 45 minutes long and occur biweekly for 10 sessions over 5 months. Two meals each day will be completed at home as part of the treatment of the feeding problems.

BEHAVIORAL

Control group

The psychoeducation condition will involve 6 appointments (once monthly for 5 months and 1 session during the post-treatment assessment). Each appointment will include curriculum related to feeding concerns such as the etiology of feeding problems, meal structure, appropriate food selection, mealtime problem behaviors, and generalization of appropriate feeding behaviors. Each session will last approximately 45 minutes.
