The aim of the article will be to present the applied procedure and the results of studies on its effectiveness in the case of two children displaying an extreme form of food selection, i.e. refusing to eat. The first child, a two-year-old boy, was only breastfed at the start of the therapy, at which point he weighed 8,200 grams (well below the third centile in weight). The other child, a girl aged three, ate only yoghurt and one type of soup during a given period, while her weight remained within the third centile. In both cases behavioural intervention consisting in increasing food acceptance led to the increase in the number of eaten meals and in weight.

(Polish title: Stres rodzicielski i percepcja doswiadczen zwiazanych z opieka nad dzieckiem u rodziców dzieci z autyzmem uczestniczacych w róznych formach terapii). Parents of children with autism face a number of problems related to their children's specific developmental disabilities. A significant factor affecting the scope and severity of the parents' difficulties is availability of professional help for their children. So far we have limited knowledge of the relationship between the type of therapeutic intervention provided for the child and the level of parental stress and parents' perception of their parenting experiences. The purpose of the present study was to compare two groups of parents of autistic preschool children: those receiving regular, intensive behavioral therapy delivered at a therapy centre, and those using eclectic consultative-internet therapy. The comparison included parental stress profile and positive perception of parenting experience. The study also included parents of typically developing children. The comparisons revealed a number of differences between the parents of autistic children and the parents of typically developing children, as well as some differences between the stress profiles in the two groups of parents of autistic children. In addition, a positive perception of parenting experience was shown to be a viable predictor of parental stress.

The article presents the characteristics and methods of therapy of developmental disorders; these methods are derived from the theory of learning and are collectively called behavioral therapy. This presentation takes the standpoint of behavior analysis i.e. a science concerned with behavior and environmental variables which affect it. The article starts with a brief overview of the most basic assumptions of behavior analysis and of the main areas of its applications. Three essential goals of behavioral therapy of developmental disorders have been indicated, and the most important methods used to achieve these goals were described. It has been suggested to classify methods of behavioral therapy according to various kinds of learning from which they are derived and to the laws of learning that constitute the mechanism of their work. Conclusion of this article emphasizes empirically proven effectiveness of behavioral therapy in the treatment of developmental disorders.
