There is a lack of guidance concerning best practice for occupational therapists (OTs) working in the treatment of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). The absence of guidelines can lead to role uncertainty and poor articulation of the role of occupational therapy within the field of ARFID. This session aims to raise awareness of the role of occupational therapy in the treatment of ARFID and offer practical guidelines in the form of competencies.

• - Develop a greater understanding of ARFID and treatment for ARFID
• - Develop an understanding of Occupational Therapy's value and unique contribution to ARFID
• - To discuss how a professional competency framework was created for Occupational Therapists in this field
