Flavor Explorers for picky eating in autistic kids
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study is testing a program called 'Exploradores de Sabores' (Flavor Explorers) to help children with autism who are very picky eaters try new foods. The program includes fun activities and training for caregivers to do at home with their child.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and need some support, but not have intellectual disability.
- You (the primary caregiver) must be able to attend training sessions and do the activities at home with your child.
- Your child must have trouble eating new foods or be very picky (clinically significant food selectivity).
- Your child may or may not have mild tummy issues, but not serious digestive problems needing treatment.
