Not Just Picky Eating: Introduction to the Phenomenology and Treatment of Avoidant / Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) in Children

This is a live interactive webinar presentation.

ARFID was a recent entry to the DSM in 2013, but quite common in children, with prevalence estimates of 3% in the general population, but up to 22% in pediatric eating disorder treatment programs. Although often presenting clinically as “extremely picky eating” or “fear of food,” ARFID is complex, frequently comorbid with other childhood disorders such as anxiety and OCD, and requires careful assessment in order to implement a successful treatment plan. Via case examples, this workshop will guide clinicians through assessment and CBT treatment for school-aged children, with a special focus on exposure strategies, contingency management, and working with parents and schools.

At the completion of the program, participants will be able to:

• Define the diagnostic criteria for all 3 DSM-5 subtypes of ARFID
• Describe common clinical presentations of ARFID
• Describe the active ingredients of CBT for ARFID in younger children
