Numerous studies have\r\ndemonstrated the effectiveness of interventions based on applied behaviour analysis for increasing food acceptance and decreasing mealtime problem behaviour among children with developmental disabilities; however, these studies also revealed several limitations that may affect the acceptability, meaningfulness, and durability of outcomes. These limitations have been addressed by an approach to problem behaviour closely allied with\r\napplied behaviour analysis. This approach is called Positive Behaviour Support (PBS).\r\nThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a parent-implemented,\r\npositive behaviour support plan that is based on a functional assessment and feeding\r\nassessment, for improving eating behaviour for a child with ASD during a home-based\r\nsnack routine. The study employed a quasi-experimental, case study design with one\r\neating routine, using a multiple probe strategy. Results showed improvements in child eating behaviour and participation within the snack routine following training and support activities. These improvements maintained six weeks after the termination of\r\nimplementation support. Implementation of the positive behaviour support approach also\r\nwas associated with generalization of the child's eating behaviour to new foods and to the child's father's successful implementation the snack routine. The results are discussed with reference to previous research, contributions, future directions, and implications for\r\npractitioners and researchers who are involved in behavioural feeding interventions.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.format.extent","value":"6916708 bytes","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.mimetype","value":"application\/pdf","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
