Hi Colleen...
Not only do OT's work on helping individuals increase their independence performing their ADLS but we also focus on finding meaning in ones life...such as finding balance in ones life to participate in purposeful, meaning occupations (such as hobbies, leisure activities-crafts, cooking, sports, reading, etc.) I found this website for you and your friend that you may find interesting. It is a brief overview of how OTs work with individuals with eating disorders. Hope this helps.
