Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec id="jaba210-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Children with feeding disorders often do not self‐drink without treatment. Unfortunately, the literature on self‐drinking is scarce. We evaluated differential positive reinforcement to increase self‐drinking for 2 children with feeding disorders. Results showed that differential positive reinforcement with tangible items increased self‐drinking for both children in the absence of nonremoval of the cup.</p> </sec> </abstract>
