Description

The objective of this poster presentation is to build awareness in the health and parenting communities that avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) can lead to serious nutrient deficiencies and is not just picky eating. Health professionals need to be able to distinguish ARFID from typical picky eating in order to provide the correct information regarding appropriate interventions, and to help families make informed choices regarding the care of their child.
