Why might a child accept dinosaur shaped nuggets but refuse the same food in a different shape? 🦕🍽️

For some children with autism, details such as a food’s brand, shape, texture, temperature, packaging, or presentation can help make it feel familiar and predictable. When one of those details changes, even a familiar food may suddenly feel new.

Selective eating will not look the same for every child. Understanding the child’s current eating patterns and what may be contributing to them is an important first step before deciding what type of support may be helpful. 🌱

🍽️ Myth vs. Fact: When should children practice trying new foods?

It may seem like regular meals are the most natural time to introduce something new. However, mealtimes also give children an opportunity to eat familiar foods and support their nutritional needs.

At Great Strides, structured food expansion programming is usually scheduled outside regular meals. This allows the team to work on an individualized goal without making lunch or another meal feel stressful. As children develop new skills, the team can also consider how those skills may carry over into everyday meals and other settings. 🌱

Every child’s needs are different, which is why food expansion should begin with an individualized assessment and an appropriate starting point.

What can selective eating look like in a child with autism and how can food expansion be supported? 🍽️🥕

A child may prefer the same food brand, shape, texture, temperature, packaging, or presentation each time. Even a small change can make a familiar food feel different or unpredictable.

At Great Strides, food-related concerns may be identified through assessment, direct observation, and conversations with families. When food expansion is appropriate within ABA, goals are individualized and introduced gradually. The child’s comfort, choices, and responses help guide the pace. 🌱

Structured food practice usually occurs outside regular meals so children can continue eating familiar foods without new expectations making mealtimes feel stressful. Parents are also involved in choosing meaningful goals and helping skills carry over to other settings.
