- Abstract
The current study examined the effect of blending established foods and non-preferred foods to treat expulsions in a three-year-old girl with food refusal and gastrostomy-tube dependence. Treatment involving differential reinforcement of acceptance, non-removal of the spoon, and re-presentation increased consumption of 12 out of the 16 pureed foods; however, high levels of expulsion of four foods continued to disrupt meals. Results showed reduced rates of expulsion and increased mouth clean during blending, evaluated empirically using an ABAB design. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
