EDNA Information Sheet - Dietitians

This Information Sheet was developed by Eating Disorders Neurodiversity Australia.

The purpose of this document is to highlight specific points dietitians need to keep in mind when working with neurodivergent persons with an eating disorder. This document can be used to identify knowledge
gaps, topics to raise in professional supervision, or needs for further professional development. It is not an exhaustive list of the points to consider and is not meant to replace any formal neurodiversity-affirming care
training. Please note that it is assumed dietitians using this information sheet already possess the qualifications, knowledge, training, and professional development profile to meet minimum standards in line
with the ANZAED practice standards.
