“…18,41,42 When food selectivity is severe, behavioral therapy and sensory desensitization may be key tools in feeding and the overall well-being of children. 41,43,44 Behavioral feeding strategies may be effective even in eating disorders of organic origin. 38,45 Reducing food-related anxiety, in some cases considering the use of drug therapy, may be some of the strategies that can be implemented.…”

It has been estimated that between 25% and 40% of healthy children show symptoms of feeding difficulties (FDs) during their growth and development; many times, these are not adequately diagnosed.The objective of this study was to conduct a narrative review that collected the available information on feeding difficulties. Assessment and management algorithms were developed based on the bibliographic evidence.Most feeding problems in young children (feeding selectivity, loss of appetite, fear of feeding) are often concurrent, and a clinical risk assessment is necessary to plan an individualized intervention.Having standardized definitions and common terms to address these difficulties in an appropriate and multidisciplinary manner is one of the ways to optimize their treatment. The involvement of different health care providers and parents is critical to address feeding difficulties.

Many children with autism spectrum disorder experience feeding difficulties that can lead to increased health risks (e.g., severe nutrition deficiencies, obesity-related illnesses) if left untreated. Intensive feeding programs that use behavior-analytic interventions have reported positive outcomes for treating challenging behavior associated with pediatric feeding disorders at discharge and up to 1 year post discharge. Whether these children achieve and maintain long-term goals is unknown. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate outcomes of behavior-analytic intervention for pediatric feeding disorders among children with and without autism spectrum disorder in an intensive feeding program post discharge. Caregivers of former patients reported on the positive and negative impact of the program and their child’s growth and diet variety at follow-up. 85% of caregivers reported the program had a positive impact. Increases in height-for-age z scores were significant from admission to discharge from the intensive program, and progress in growth and diet variety remained the same or improved for most children at follow-up. Results suggest that behavior-analytic intervention in an intensive feeding program produced positive short- and long-term outcomes for children and their families.
