Resources
Feeding and ARFID resources
These resources cover ARFID, pediatric feeding disorder, swallowing, eating-disorder support, and feeding-specialist navigation. They are educational and do not establish a diagnosis or provide a child-specific plan.
ARFID and eating-disorder education
- NEDA ARFID information — overview of ARFID presentations, treatment considerations, and help-seeking.
- FEAST family guides — caregiver education and support; peer and educational support is not emergency or individualized medical care.
- Beat ARFID information — United Kingdom information; local referral pathways may not apply elsewhere.
Feeding and swallowing
- ASHA Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Practice Portal — professional guidance on pediatric feeding disorder, swallowing concerns, ARFID distinctions, assessment domains, and team roles.
- ASHA ProFind — directory for locating speech-language pathologists; ask specifically about pediatric feeding, swallowing, age range, ARFID coordination, licensure, insurance, and openings.
- Feeding Matters — pediatric feeding-disorder education, family resources, advocacy, and connections to feeding-related specialists and programs.
- Feeding Matters provider directory — U.S.-focused provider search; verify ARFID experience, swallowing competence, insurance, age range, and waitlist.
- Feeding Matters school toolkit — school-oriented planning and communication tools; does not create legal entitlements.
