1. What Is a Behavioral Feeding Disorder?

Chapter One will define behavioral feeding disorders and identify behaviors associated with these concerns. Prior to addressing behavioral feeding disorders, it is important to define a behavioral feeding disorder and to be able to recognize its signs and symptoms. This chapter will provide a definition and discuss signs and symptoms from the perspective of family and school.

2. Identifying Behavioral Feeding Disorders in the School Setting

In order to evaluate and determine if a student has a behavioral feeding disorder, the district team must consider four areas. This chapter will review each area that should be considered and evaluated as part of the process of addressing the behaviors.

3. Four-Tiered Approach to Classifying and Treating Behavioral Feeding Disorders

Behavioral feeding disorders occur early in a child’s educational experience, with them often starting school at three with concerns. This chapter will identify the different levels of severity and how to address them using a four-tiered approach. Goals by experts in the field of behavioral feeding disorders will be shared, and things districts can do will be identified.
