✨ Weekly Win ✨

From a parent - "Using the Experiment Worksheet from Bridge the Food Gap, we explored “food flights” — trying different preparations of the same food
And it worked… a new safe food was added! 🎉"

Sometimes recovery isn’t about loving a food immediately.

It’s about discovering that one version feels safer, more manageable, or more approachable than another.

Small steps create meaningful progress. 💜

Spring reminds us that growth often happens slowly and quietly. 🌼

In ARFID recovery, progress might look like:
• One new bite
• One repeated exposure
