On the Horizon
Neuroaffirming Care for ARFID: Bridging Clinical Practice and Family Life
Mercedes Palermo.,RN
Public Health Nurse
Dr. Kyla Baird, C. Psych
Clinical Psychologist
This joint clinician–parent presentation explores ARFID and neurodivergence through lived family experience and a neuroaffirming clinical lens. We will examine how neuroaffirming care in assessment and treatment meaningfully translates into at-home feeding strategies, including responsive feeding, parent- and child-led interventions, and demand-reduction approaches for PDA-profile ARFID. Participants will leave with concrete ways to align therapeutic goals with nervous-system safety, family realities, and developmental needs — strengthening collaboration rather than increasing pressure around food.
Date: May 8th, 2026
