Interventions for autistic children with behavioural feeding needs: a scoping review

What is it about?

Eating challenges are common among autistic children and can affect the entire family's wellbeing. This review examined non-behaviourist interventions for these children. The findings suggest that most interventions focus on the child, neglecting the family context. There is a need for family-centred interventions based on comprehensive assessments that consider the child within their family unit. This approach should address both the child’s eating challenges and their impact on the family.
