Understanding Avoidant-Restrictive Food-Intake Disorder

Is every meal a battlefield? Does the thought of new foods cause panic? Do sensory textures (slimy, crunchy, mixed) trigger gagging? Are nutritional gaps or weight loss causing constant worry?

This session provides a certificate worth 2 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

By completing this CPD course, participants will demonstrate that they can:

  • Explain what Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is, including its diagnostic criteria.

  • Understand that ARFID is also commonly experienced in Autism, ADHD, Learning Disability, and mental and physical health conditions.

  • Understand the boundary between autism-related restrictive eating and ARFID, including when both may co-occur and require separate consideration.

  • Identify a range of factors that can contribute to ARFID, including sensory processing differences, anxiety, pain, interoceptive differences, physical health conditions, medication effects, and demand avoidance.
