BACKGROUND: This study examined the effectiveness of behavioral intervention on feeding problem in persons with autism in Ibadan, Nigeria.
METHODOLOGY: Pretest-posttest, control group quasi-experimental research with a 2x2 factorial matrix. Data was collected with the Feeding Behavioral Analysis Test. Ten (10) persons with non-verbal autism and evidence of poor feeding habits (selectivity by food type) attending a residential school in Ibadan participated in the study. The one-way between-subjects Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA) was used to determine the effectiveness of the behavioral intervention.
RESULTS: Positive reinforcement was effective in reducing feeding problem in children with autism (F(1, 7) = 3.023, p<0.05), compared to the control group (t (8)= -5.24, p<.05). Further analysis revealed significant main effect of the age of the participants (F(1,7) = 5.343, p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: there is a need for teachers, counsellors, caregivers, parents, minders and clinical psychologists to adopt positive reinforcement in the management of feeding problems among persons with autism.
