Description
In Part 1 of Beyond the Bite, Jay Burton, BCBA and dad of 2 boys on the spectrum, breaks down the role of ABA in feeding therapy with a focus on humility, collaboration, and scope of competence. This episode explores the difference between food selectivity and more serious feeding concerns, why older ABA feeding literature leaned heavily on escape extinction, and how the field is moving toward less intrusive, reinforcement-based strategies like shaping, fading, modeling, and differential reinforcement.
Jay also discusses when BCBAs should pause and collaborate with pediatricians, SLPs, OTs, dietitians, GI specialists, and feeding teams. This episode sets the foundation for Part 2, where we will take a deeper look at Dr. Holly Gover’s work on assent-based and trauma-informed feeding intervention.
