Accommodations
- Allow the student to eat in a more comfortable setting
Example:
Provide options for the student to eat lunch or snacks in smaller, more
acceptable, less distressing locations.
- Have the student eat/snack while doing another activity
Example:
Allow the student to eat while working on academics or in casual situations
where there is less focus on what everyone is eating, or on what this student
is eating.
- Provide alternative activities when focus on food interferes with academics
Example:
Allow the student to do alternative research or reading
rather than hear or read information that distresses him/her
about calories, food groups, or dieting/nutrition.
- Allow the student to complete academics in settings where food is not present
Example:
If the setting is problematic (food odors or visibility
of other students eating), allow work in a non-food setting
(library).
- Identify student-acceptable comments teachers can employ during eating
Example:
Outside of class, identify with the student desirable terms for
indicating time for snack or lunch ("break" or "lunchtime"),
time to finish ("three minutes til return to classroom"),
and acceptable comments about how the student looks ("I like
that color on you" instead of "you look good in that
dress").
- Identify alternative foods/snacks available for the student if he/she resists eating
Example:
Outside of class, with the student and/or parents, identify multiple foods/snacks
to be available for the student at school.
