Module I

This is an introductory to avoidant/restrictive intake disorder (ARIFD) treatment. The module will address assessing and evaluating a patient/client for ARFID as well as the beginning skills to ARFID treatment.

 

Module II

This module will help the participant/practitioner identify and learn specific physiology. The module will also address and show how to use those physiological openings to decrease fear and adrenaline in avoidant/restrictive/food intake disorder (ARFID) patient/client.

 

Module III

The participants in group will learn to identify and assess adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and resilient childhood experiences (RCE) to identify attachment issues leading to constriction for avoidant/restrictive intake disorder (ARFID). The participants will learn how to work with other practitioners to coordinate care for the ARFID patient/client.

 

Module IV

The participants will learn to regulate the avoidant/restrictive intake disorder (ARFID) patient/client. The participants will learn to track a nervous system as patient/client is being regulated in their own system. The participants will learn about orienting, how to orient, and how and why they teach their patients/clients to orient.
