“…This is particularly important since 25-45% of typically developing children also exhibit eating and feeding difficulties throughout their development (Bentovim 1970;Cashdan 1998;Dahl 1987;Linscheid 1992;Palmer et al 1975) making it unclear as to how feeding behaviors of children with ASD differ from typically developing peers. In this study (Schreck et al 2004) caregivers reported that children with ASD had more 'ritualistic eating behaviors' (i.e., required a specific utensil or food presentation to consume a food), refused more foods, rejected more foods due to texture, and in general, had more feeding problems (as assessed by the Children's Eating Behavior Inventory; CEBI) than typically developing children.…”

Mothers of children aged 2-12 years completed an exhaustive questionnaire assessing feeding and eating behaviors for both themselves and their children with autism, and typically developing siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (where available), or typically developing children with no sibling with a disability. Results indicate that children with autism were only marginally more likely to exhibit picky eating behavior (overall style) than their siblings or matched typically developing children. Rates of ritualistic feeding behaviors were equivalent in all groups of children although children with autism were more likely to be currently exhibiting problematic eating and feeding behaviors. The implications of these results for the treatment of feeding difficulties exhibited by children with autism will be discussed.

Children with feeding disorders frequently present to primary care practitioners. The causes of these feeding disorders are often a mix of medical, developmental, and behavioral factors. Evaluation and treatment of feeding problems typically require the expertise of physicians, speech and language pathologists, registered dietitians, and psychologists. This article advocates an interdisciplinary, biobehavioral approach for the assessment and treatment of feeding disorders. First, prevalence and causes of feeding problems are discussed. Second, interdisciplinary assessment and treatment strategies are considered, including the specific roles of the interdisciplinary team members. Third, behavioral treatment strategies are described. Fourth, various treatment options are described.

“…Mealtime difficulties have been reported to occur for 45 % of typically developing children (Bentovim, 1970). Although only 30 % of individuals with developmental disabilities (Palmer, Thompson, & Linscheid, 1975) are reported to have such feeding difficulties, prevalence among those with severe developmental disabilities has been reported to be as high as 80 % (Perske, Clifton, McClean, & Stein, 1977).…”
