This activity aligns closely with the healthcare team’s scope, focusing on evidence-based approaches for treating severe anxiety and OCD to enhance clinical outcomes.
Target Audience

Learning Objectives
- Differentiate ARFID from other feeding and eating concerns by identifying clear diagnostic criteria and common clinical presentations specific to sensory, fear-based, and low-interest subtypes.
Explain how parental accommodation maintains ARFID symptoms and describe why well-intentioned strategies often backfire, using SPACE principles to outline effective parent-based interventions.
Apply core components of SPACE for ARFID by recognizing what treatment looks like in practice, determining case fit, and identifying resources for further clinician training and implementation.
