- Do they resist trying new foods and stick to the same limited menu day after day?
Extreme food selectivity is often linked to sensory integration challenges and anxiety. At Steinberg Behavior Solutions, our feeding therapy is integrated into your child’s individualized ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) program. We use a behavioral method called systematic desensitization—a proven approach that gently reduces food-related anxiety while reinforcing each step of progress with positive encouragement.
What To Expect
Our team begins with a detailed history of your child’s eating habits, food aversions, and sensory sensitivities. From there, we conduct a comprehensive feeding evaluation and create a custom desensitization plan tailored to your child’s needs—all within the structure of their ABA treatment plan.

The Role of ABA Therapy in Addressing Feeding Challenges in Children with Autism.
Significant food aversions don’t just impact your child’s nutrition—they can affect their emotional and social well-being. Whether it’s feeling isolated in the school cafeteria or left out at birthday parties, limited eating can lead to missed moments of connection and confidence.
Our goal is to expand your child’s food repertoire in a compassionate, supportive, and evidence-based way—within the familiar context of their ABA sessions.
