Description
Summary:Previous research has demonstrated that extinction in the form of re‐presentation of expelled bites is an effective intervention for treating food expulsion. The current study compared the effectiveness of re‐presenting expulsions with a spoon to re‐presenting with a Nuk® brush for a 4‐ year‐old boy with a feeding disorder. Fewer expulsions were observed when using the brush for re‐presentation, and further reductions were observed when the brush was also used for initial presentations.
