Piazza4.54 out of 5(13)In this study, presented at the 2021 Michigan Autism Conference, a matching-law-based intervention was employed to address change-resistant feeding behavior in seven young children with autism.

Results demonstrate the effectiveness of teaching children to consume alternative foods even when their preferred options are available.
