​At Home For Balance, our ARFID Summer Intensive Program is designed for children and teens who struggle with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), including those with sensory sensitivities, low appetite and lack of interest in food, and fear of eating, including those who are neurodivergent (ASD, OCD, ADHD diagnoses).

​

We understand that eating challenges are not simply about “picky eating.” For many kids and teens, food feels overwhelming, unpredictable, or even unsafe. Our program provides a structured, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to help your child and you as a parent move toward greater flexibility, confidence, and ease around food.

​
