Between Avoidance & Ability: A Behavioral Lens on ARFID & Pediatric Feeding Disorder
Speaker: Ciera Korte, PhD will be speaking on feeding problems and differentiating between Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD)
Dr Korte is a second year Pediatric Gastroenterology Psychology Fellow at OHSU and will be joining faculty there in June 2026. She provides behavioral health services within pediatric gastroenterology, collaborating closely with dietitians and multidisciplinary teams across outpatient GI psychology and inpatient consultation-liason care.
Dr Korte's clinical work focuses on evidence based interventions for youth with GI diagnoses and related concerns. This work often intersects with ARFID, and PFD presentations in pediatric GI populations, particularly those characterized by fear of GI symptoms, choking or vomiting fears and persistently low appetite.
Her research centers on cognitive-behavioral therapy applications in pediatric gastroenterology, anxiety-related concerns and the psychosocial impact of chronic medical conditions. She has published and presented nationally and is committed to advancin collaborative, developmentally sensitive care for children and families.
