  • Title: Feeding program for the institutionalized mentally retarded.
    Author: Mann WC, Sobsey R.
    Journal: Am J Occup Ther; 1975 Sep; 29(8):471-4. PubMed ID: 1163611.
    Abstract:
    A program using techniques from behavior modification and motivation theories was initiated to improve dining room behavior in a large residential center for the mentally retarded. The program was graduated into three levels to deal with behaviors ranging from normal eating habits to total lack of self-feeding skills. The effectiveness of this program, indicated by behavioral ratings taken both before the program began and eight weeks after the program was in operation, was shown in significantly improved eating habits.
