Treatment of food selectivity requires a holistic approach to address both the internal reasons for food avoidance and the food refusal behavior. This session outlines the theoretical foundations and treatment elements of the Just Right Challenge Feeding Protocol. In addition, a method for tracking progress will be discussed in the context of making treatment decisions. Single subject data provides information about how a group of children progress through treatment. Children in this study had 15 or less foods as part of their regular diets and profiles indicating the presence of sensory over-responsivity. Every 5-10 weeks, each child moved up one step in the Food Interaction Hierarchy (e.g. touch, taste, eat). Significant increases in vegetable and fruit acceptance and mealtime quality were obtained and parent compliance on home program assignments is outlined. This information is valuable for guiding clinical reasoning and future research of treatment for food selectivity.
