Официальное название
Evaluation of the Effect of a Food Selectivity Intervention Through Virtual Reality in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Обзор
Food selectivity is a common challenge among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with significant impacts on their nutrition and well-being. The main purpose of this study is to promote children's active participation in mealtime routines and encourage experimentation with new foods through an approach that emphasizes joy and serenity during mealtimes. The study will involve children with ASD between the ages of 4 and 10 years, of both sexes. Food selectivity will be assessed through interviews with parents and the use of specially created cards. The protocol will include 45-minute sessions, twice a week, for a total of 48 sessions. The children will wear an Oculus headset and be exposed to the foods through this virtual reality tool, enhancing their engagement and willingness to try new foods in a fun and immersive way.
Вмешательства
- Другое Individual food selectivity protocol
Children in the experimental group wear Oculus headsets and interact with virtual foods for 20 minutes. In the "Pairing in the Kitchen" phase, Oculus is removed. Two identical plates with 6 foods are placed in front of the child. The operator, seated next to the child, interacts with the food without eating it, maintaining a positive expression, and discussing non-food topics. No prompts to eat are given, and the child can leave at any time. Progress to the next phase if the child sits calmly fo - Другое Traditional food selectivity protocol
Step 1:Pairing in the Kitchen Propose enjoyable activities in the kitchen. Move to Step 2 when the child plays in the kitchen for 5 minutes over 3 consecutive sessions. Step 2:Transition to Kitchen Two plates with 6 identical foods are placed in the kitchen. The operator engages the child in a welcome game, waiting 30 seconds for spontaneous interaction. If no response, the operator prompts the child to go to the kitchen. If the child doesn't follow within 30 seconds, the session is postponed.
