Do you have clients that present with sensory challenges around food or aversions related to eating? Perhaps your clients have heard of, or been diagnosed with ARFID, but aren’t sure what it exactly means.

This non-branded handout provides an overview of each of the five types of ARFID (avoidant, restrictive, aversive, mixed and plus). It can be a helpful tool to set expectations and explain treatment progression early on in the nutrition work. Help your clients and their families make sense of an ARFID diagnosis with this free resource!

If you are working with clients with ARFID clients you will want to check out the Incorporating Feared & Novel Foods Bundle! It has everything you need to work with ARFID clients and conduct food exposures!
