Summary:We used behavioral skills training to teach parents of 3 children with autism spectrum disorder and food selectivity to conduct a home‐based treatment package that consisted of taste exposure, escape extinction, and fading.

Parents also reported that increases in diet variety were maintained at follow‐up.
