Many teachers struggle with implementing self-help eating goals for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). No group programs exist to target this important problem. We used findings from applied behavior analysis research and adapted single-subject interventions into a group-based eating program. In describing the program using two vignettes, children in two preschool special education classrooms are introduced to a character called “Esther the Eater” and then taught to expand their eating choices. The program is designed to be routine, fun, and classroom-friendly to help children with ASD try new foods.

“您仍然必须尝试！”：帮助课堂小组中的挑食者

许多教师为实现自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的自助饮食目标而奋斗。没有针对此重要问题的小组计划。我们使用了来自应用行为分析研究的结果，并将单项干预措施纳入了基于小组的饮食计划。在使用两个短片来描述程序时，在两个学龄前特殊教育教室中的孩子被介绍给一个名为“食者以斯帖”的角色，然后教他们扩大饮食选择。该计划旨在使例行，有趣且易于上课，以帮助患有ASD的儿童尝试新食品。
