Clinical Trial of "Exploradores de Sabores" to Improve Food Selectivity in ASD Kids

The goal of this randomized, single-blind clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Exploradores de Sabores parent-mediated nutrition intervention in reducing food selectivity and improving dietary variety, mealtime behaviors, nutritional status, and gastrointestinal symptoms among children aged 4 to 11 years with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The intervention consists of a standardized 15-week parent training program that combines nutrition education, behavioral feeding strategies, sensory-based approaches, and structured food exposure activities implemented by caregivers at home. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the Exploradores de Sabores intervention improve food selectivity and dietary variety in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder compared with Education as Usual (EAU)? * Does the intervention improve mealtime behaviors, nutritional status, and gastrointestinal symptoms compared with Education as Usual (EAU)? Researchers will compare participants assigned to the Exploradores de Sabores intervention with those receiving Education as Usual (EAU) to determine whether the intervention results in greater improvements in food selectivity, dietary variety, mealtime behaviors, nutritional status, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Participants will: * Complete study assessments at baseline and immediately after completion of the 15-week intervention. * Be randomly assigned to either the Exploradores de Sabores intervention or the Education as …
