Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="jaba33-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>The purpose of the current investigation was to identify an appropriate texture for initial treatment of 1 child's feeding problem. Variability in mouth clean (a product measure of swallowing) during a texture assessment suggested that individual pureed foods differentially affected feeding behavior. A single‐food assessment identified individual problematic foods. We used the results of these assessments to inform treatment, resulting in high levels of mouth clean across foods.</p> </sec> </abstract>
