Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nutrition
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Assessment Tools

Background:

  • Feeding problems are common in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
  • Accurate assessment tools are needed to identify and address these feeding difficulties.
  • The Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS) is a potential tool for this purpose.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the suitability of the Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS) for assessing feeding problems in young children (1-6 years) diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
  • To compare the MCH-FS's performance in a clinical ASD sample versus a general population sample.

Main Methods:

  • The study included 80 children with ASD and 1389 children from the general population, aged 1-6 years.
  • The Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS) was administered to parents in both groups.
  • Internal consistency and response patterns of the MCH-FS were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The MCH-FS demonstrated good internal consistency across both the ASD and general population samples.
  • Parents of children with ASD reported significantly more feeding problems compared to the general population sample.
  • Response patterns on individual MCH-FS items were similar between the two groups, with age-related increases in symptoms only observed in the general population sample.

Conclusions:

  • The Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS) is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing feeding problems in young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
  • The MCH-FS can be effectively utilized in clinical settings involving children with ASD.
  • Findings support the use of MCH-FS for evaluating feeding behaviors in diverse pediatric populations, including those with ASD.
