Understanding Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
A free Zoom workshop for parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in West Sussex.
Understanding Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
ARFID is an eating or feeding disturbance, which results in 'persistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional and/or energy needs' (DSM5).
This 2 hour workshop aims to help you understand the reasons ARFID might occur, and will explore the implications and presentation in children and young people with additional needs. We will also look at ways in which parents and carers can support a child with ARFID, and signpost to relevant and useful resources.
Delivered via Zoom by parent-carer Denise Snook, a SEND and SEMH Consultant, specialising in social and emotional mental health in children and young people.
Please note this workshop is funded by Reaching Families for parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in West Sussex only. It is not suitable for professionals.
