Etiology developmental delays (80 of children with developmental delays have feeding problems), temperament (reactivity, over or under arousal), parental mental health or eating issues
Assessment and diagnosis information about both child and caregiver are gathered through interviews and observations
Intervention focused on physiological, psychological, and environmental factors; three factors nutritional monitoring, physiological and environmental changes, and behavioral techniques
