Spoon-to-Cup Fading as Treatment for Cup Drinking in a Child with Intestinal Failure
Groff, Rebecca A.; Piazza, Cathleen C.; Zeleny, Jason R.; Dempsey, Jack R.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v44 n4 p949-954 Win 2011
We treated a child with intestinal failure who consumed solids on a spoon but not liquids from a cup. We used spoon-to-cup fading, which consisted of taping a spoon to a cup and then gradually moving the bowl of the spoon closer to the edge of the cup. Spoon-to-cup fading was effective for increasing consumption of liquids from a cup. (Contains 2 figures.)
