“…Dawson, Matson, and Cherry [58] found similar results, as did Embregts, Didden, Schreuder, Huitink, and van Nieuwenhuijzen [59]. Food refusal was associated with selfinjury and aggression as a means of escaping the task [60,61].…”

Challenging behaviors (CB) in the form of selfinjurious behaviors, aggression, property destruction, tantrums, pica, and other disruptive activities are common among persons with intellectual disabilities. Lack of social and communication skills, temperament issues, and other symptoms that characterize these persons contribute to the high rates of CB. In recent years, applied behavior analysis (ABA) has proven to be a particularly effective treatment for these issues. Functional assessment is a foundational strategy for such intervention. The methods most commonly used to achieve this goal include interviews and observations, experimental functional analysis, in vivo assessment, and standardized tests. The purpose of this group of techniques is to establish the variables that maintain the behavior, and treatment then flows from these data. This paper reviews the current state of the art in the area of functional assessment.

“…Matson et al (2006) found no difference in food refusal across levels of LD but greater social skills deficits were associated with food refusal. Using the Screening Tool for Feeding Problems (STEP; Matson & Kuhn, 2001), Matson, Mayville, Kuhn, Sturmey, Laud, and Cooper (2005) found that food refusal was most often associated with an escape function which might resemble the hypothesised escape/avoidance of emotion function of AN in non-LD individuals (e.g. Slade, 1982).…”

“…More than perhaps any other problem in the field of mental health, the ASD literature is fraught with controversy ). Issues such as how core symptoms should be defined have received a great deal of attention (Matson & Boisjoli, 2008;Matson, Kozlowski, Hattier, Horovitz, & Sipes, 2012;Matson et al, 2005;Rivet & Matson, 2011;Worley & Matson, 2012).…”
