Abstract
We surveyed Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs®) about their experiences with pediatric feeding problems. Results show that the most common forms of inappropriate mealtime behavior with which behavior analysts have worked are passive refusal, head turns, and elopement from the feeding area. The most common intervention techniques used by BCBA®s when working with feeding problems are shaping and graduated guidance. BCBAs® work most often with occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists when providing feeding-related services. We conclude by providing recommendations to equip behavior analysts to better manage feeding cases.
