EDNA Information Sheet - School Personnel

About this resource

This Information Sheet was developed by Eating Disorders Neurodiversity Australia.

School personnel have an important role to play in both prevention and early identification of eating disorders. Neurodivergent people are at a high risk of developing eating disorders, and eating disorders may
have different underlying factors and manifestations in this population. Support needs related to the eating experiences of neurodivergent students at school may differ from their neurotypical peers. Neurodivergent
students’ support needs may relate to sensory processing (e.g., aversions or cravings, eating environment) and/or identity (e.g., bullying, masking/camouflaging, gender).

Considerations and practical tools to support neurodivergent students’ eating experiences at school are offered in this document.
