ARFID Assessment

  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Questionnaire (Parent-Report Version)

    This assessment is designed to evaluate a child’s eating patterns and identify potential signs of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

    The questionnaire measures several key areas, including:


    • Level of food selectivity (picky eating)
    • Sensory responses to food characteristics (taste, texture, smell, and appearance)
    • Anxiety or avoidance related to trying new foods
    • Interest in food and eating
    • The impact of eating behaviors on the child’s health and social functioning

    Age Range:

    Suitable for children aged 2 years and above, based on parent-report observations in daily environments.

    After the Assessment:

    You will receive:

    • A detailed analysis of the results
    • Identification of the child’s core areas of difficulty
    • A structured, clear, and simplified home therapy plan

    • Approved recommendations

    Therapeutic Approach:

    The home plan is based on the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory)approach, a widely recognized evidence-based method used to support children with feeding difficulties through gradual and stress-free food exposure.
