WAEDOCS Dietetic Essentials for Avoidant Retrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Across the Spectrum of Care
About
ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is an eating disorder characterised by a persistent and selective disturbance in eating or feeding, leading to weight loss, nutritional deficiency, and/or impaired psychosocial functioning.
Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID does not involve a concern about body shape or weight. Instead, individuals with ARFID may have sensory sensitivities to certain foods, fear of choking, or a lack of interest in eating, resulting in a limited range of food intake. ARFID can occur in both children and adults and requires a comprehensive evaluation and treatment approach.
This collaborative workshop will include information on:
- The journey of a patient through different settings of care (i.e. acute, outpatient, community) and how dietitians can support those with an ARFID diagnosis in those settings
- Discussion of what Copeland’s (guest trainer) PhD’s research has shown thus far including perspectives from a lived experience point of view
- Development and validation of a new tool, Australian Core Food Score, developed for dietetic use for those living with ARFID
Education provided at this masterclass builds on the ANZAED dietetics practice standards. It is suitable for dietitians across all care settings and fosters development of existing eating disorders knowledge with more advanced practice skills. Through the day attendees will be provided with didactic, interactive and experiential practise opportunities.
It is implied that dietitians attending this workshop already understand the foundations of evidence based dietetic management for eating disorders.
