We examined the effects of a negative reinforcement‐based treatment on the self‐feeding of 1 child with food selectivity by type and texture. Self‐feeding increased when the child could choose to either self‐feed 1 bite of a target food or be fed 1 bite of the target food and 5 bites of another food. Possible mechanisms that underlie the effectiveness of the intervention and implications for future research are discussed.
