1. Multi-Component Treatment
In order to effectively treat food selectivity, an understanding of underlying theory is necessary. This understanding allows for the treatment protocol to be applied flexibly to meet individual client needs. This chapter will outline the contribution of the behavioral, sensory integration, cognitive behavioral, and biomechanical frames of reference to the treatment of food selectivity.
2. Treatment Centerpiece
Treatment for food selectivity often contains several specific treatment elements. This chapter will describe a standard structure for a food selectivity treatment session with optional oral motor and tactile food exploration elements and an essential clinical meal.
