Peer-Mediated Procedures to Induce Swallowing and Food Acceptance in Young Children.

Greer, R. Douglas; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v24 n4 p783-90 Win 1991

A peer modeling procedure was shown to induce swallowing in a young child with dysphagia, and to increase food acceptance in a young child who consistently declined food. A peer-mediated procedure, consisting of rotated opportunities to consume food with a peer, increased consumption more than did modeling alone. (Author/JDD)
