Bailey, Rita L.; Angell, Maureen E.
Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, v24 n1 p41-61 Fall 2005
This study employed a multiple probe design to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based lunchtime oral-sensory/oral-motor/positive reinforcement program on food acceptance behaviors of three youth with multiple disabilities. Overall dramatic gains in food acceptance behaviors of all participants indicated that trained school personnel were effective in implementing the combined program package after observing trained speech-language pathology graduate students. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
