BRIEF FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS AND SUPPLEMENTAL FEEDING FOR POSTMEAL RUMINATION IN CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

Rumination is a serious problem demonstrated by some people with developmental disabilities, but previous research has not included a functional analysis and has rarely compared intervention methods during the assessment process. We conducted functional analyses with 2 children who displayed postmea...

Description
Summary:Rumination is a serious problem demonstrated by some people with developmental disabilities, but previous research has not included a functional analysis and has rarely compared intervention methods during the assessment process. We conducted functional analyses with 2 children who displayed postmeal rumination and subsequently evaluated a supplemental feeding intervention following meals. Results showed that noncontingent food or liquid presentation effectively reduced rumination with both children.
