It sounds behavioural to me as well. My son has issues, one of which being Aspergers, and there are times when getting him to try something new is about as pleasant as pulling teeth. The only way I get him to try new things is to offer new foods over and over. Also I assure him that if he tries it and truly does not like it, I will not force him to eat it. Over time he's discovered more foods that he likes, and it becomes easier to have him try new foods because he realizes that he won't hate everything he tries.
Sometimes kids with behavior issues are very intimidated by trying new foods. It's possible she has texture issues, too. But as torontokids said if her parents are not working on this at home, you are fighting a losing battle. Problems like this are tackled through consistency and her parents have got to be on the same page.
I also would sit down and talk with her parents. What are her eating habits like at home?
