What is this trial about?
Most studies which have addressed food selectivity among children with autism spectrum disorders have been conducted in either clinic or home settings. School-based research has been conducted to increase healthy eating, but this research was largely conducted with children without special needs or if children with special needs did participate, they were not identified.
This study will focus on increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables among children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder in a school setting.
What are the participation requirements?
Inclusion Criteria
* Participants will be students in a private school with a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder and between 6-14 years of age.
