Treating Eating Problems of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
and Developmental Disabilities (2007)
Authors: Keith E. Williams, Ph.D. and Richard M. Foxx, Ph.D.
This is a two-part book written for caregivers and professionals who work with children with feeding problems. It
presents behavioral interventions and approaches on solving a child’s resistance to eating.
Part One was specifically written for teachers, parents, and caregivers with no prior professional experience or
training on feeding problems.
Part Two was written for professionals, providing detailed information on how to apply behavioral assessment
and developing individualized interventions based on a child’s eating behaviors.
The behavioral interventions and procedures presented in this book can also be integrated into oral motor or dysphagia
therapy. Includes references and brief descriptions.

CONTROVERSIAL THERAPIES FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (2005)
Authors: John W. Jacobson (ed.), Richard M. Foxx (ed.), and James A. Mulick (ed.)
"In this important new book, Drs. Jacobson, Foxx, and Mulick have provided a valuable resource for
parents and professionals seeking to understand what constitutes effective intervention for various
developmental disabilities, including autism. Chapter selections are characterized by consistently high
standards of research and scholarship--yet, unlike many other academic treatises, most of the
contributions here are written in a clear, accessible style. This collection offers both the professional and
the lay reader a wealth of information about current fads and controversies in developmental disabilities.
More importantly, the work offers insights into the genesis of such fads, and an intensive education in
how to make science-based treatment decisions in the face of competing claims."
-- Catherine Maurice, Ph.D.
