Yes, especially when the behaviours around eating are sensory-based or anxiety-related. In Australia, behaviour therapists may work alongside speech pathologists or OTs under an NDIS plan to improve mealtime behaviours. Techniques might include food chaining (gradual exposure to new foods), reinforcement systems for trying bites, or reducing pressure-based interactions. Therapy is always child-led, respectful, and sensitive to trauma or sensory profiles.
