Wednesday brings us the first of our Behavior Analysis in Practice Articles, one on feeding interventions over telehealth. I chose this article not because of the feeding topic, but rather because of the focus on parent run interventions and telehealth as a service delivery mode. In addition, I must admit that the changing criterion design had me quite interested from the start. These authors take a demand faded approach to behavioral feeding and attempt to increase bites and consumptions without the usage of escape extinction and in a social valid way. They were able to find success, albeit slow success. While this is not a perfect article and research project, I think the information is valuable to any clinician, and expands the conversation around ethical and humane approaches to ABA.
