Summary

The high prevalence of mealtime difficulties and obesity among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) calls for new and innovative ways to promote healthy eating and weight development in this population. This project aims to develop and test an interactive mobile health (mHealth) nutrition intervention, which incorporates core behavior change strategies that have been empirically tested in family-based nutrition research and behavioral interventions with children with ASD. The feasibility and efficacy of this mHealth intervention to improve dietary outcomes in children with ASD will be tested in a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial.
