Food Challenges for Eating Disorders
FOOD CHALLENGES AND EXPOSURES FOR FOOD AVERSIONS AND EATING DISORDERS
Clients with food aversions, feeding disorders, and disordered eating can be very difficult in nutrition therapy. Food challenges and exposures are an important part of nutrition counseling toward independent eating. Dietitians counseling these types of clients should learn and practice appropriate methods for conducting challenges and exposures. There are overall principles to consider, as well as how to more specifically help clients with different feeding issues work on including more varied food choices. This webinar is intended to help dietitians develop a knowledge base to learn how to approach food challenges and exposures.
Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:
  • Define food challenges & food exposures, as well as similarities & differences between the two.


  • Know how to appropriately issue food challenges for progress in nutrition counseling.


  • Understand when food exposures are appropriate & beneficial.


  • Know how to appropriately conduct food exposures.


  • Apply learned principles to case study examples.
