BUFFET-Snack: Food Selectivity Study for Autistic Youth

The Building Up Food Flexibility and Exposure Treatment (BUFFET) program helps autistic children 8-12 years old to be more flexible with trying new or non-preferred foods. BUFFET-Snack is a brief version of this treatment program. The goal of this study is to see if families can complete BUFFET-Snack and if they like it. BUFFET-Snack is a cognitive behavioral therapy. It will be a good fit for children who can communicate with full sentences and have some back-and-forth conversation skills.

Pathways to ASD Diagnosis

The purpose of the study is to learn more about the experience of caregivers who have a child diagnosed with autism. We also want to better understand what is working well in healthcare in the US. This study is open to primary caregivers of a child (aged 3-17) who has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in the last year. Participants must have immigrated to the US and identify as Hispanic or Latinx. Study staff will interview participants about their experiences as a caregiver of an autistic child. This one-time interview will last 60-90 minutes in Spanish or English.
