Healio (10/30, Gramigna) reports that at the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo, investigators “showcased a parent-mediated, group-based intervention called the Autism Managing Eating Aversions and Limited variety, or MEAL, Plan” for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). According to Healio, “a main component of the MEAL Plan involves matching the intervention to the severity of food selectivity.” The article does not disclose how many children have received the intervention.
