What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Feeding difficulties are frequent in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The main goal of this project was to develop TEAlimento, a behavioral program for children ages 3-8 with ASD and feeding difficulties. The intervention combines parent training in group and individual sessions, as well as group sessions with children. The second goal was to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the effect of the program. It was hypothesized that the intervention would decrease food rejection and disruptive behavior during meals, as well as increase the number of foods tried. A decrease in parent stress was also expected.
