Abstract: The article focuses on avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), a distinct eating disorder characterized by restrictive eating without body image concerns, and its implications for youth in school settings. ARFID presents through sensory sensitivities, lack of interest in eating, or fear of adverse consequences like choking, leading to significant nutritional and psychosocial impairments. The article emphasizes the importance of school-based awareness, collaborative support, and tailored accommodations—such as providing safe foods, flexible scheduling, and psychoeducation—to address ARFID’s impact on students’ health and educational functioning. It also highlights the need for culturally sensitive approaches, recognition of common comorbidities like anxiety and autism, and professional development for school personnel to facilitate appropriate referrals and prevention efforts.
