Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA) isthe Evidence-Based Treatment(EBT) related to feeding problems for children with ASD and numbers ofstudies have proved treatments based on ABA to be effective. However there are almost no researchesdone in Korea and so analyzing previous researches done abroad would become a guideline for futurestudies and treatment cases in clinical settings. The purpose of this study is to review recent studiesabout treating food selectivity shown by children with ASD and analyze the difference according tovarious aspects related with the treatment and the subject of the intervention. Considering the results, Itis expected for Korean researchers and clinical practitioners to select the most effective treatment programsand make progress in the field of research in feeding problems with ASD.
