Abstract
Feeding disorders are among the most common comorbid challenges for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and can have serious implications for growth and development as well as daily living and social functioning. Interdisciplinary approaches to feeding problems unite the expertise of relevant medical, psychosocial, and allied health professions and have emerged as the most effective modality for treating these complex issues. This chapter provides an overview of feeding disorders in children with ASD, describes the members of the interdisciplinary teams formed to serve these children, and reviews the key assessment and intervention strategies used in this population. Finally, the evidence for interdisciplinary treatment approaches is assessed, along with a discussion of key co-occurring conditions.
