The following are parent suggestions. lf an IEP or 504 plan does not specifically mention dietary/health issues, you are pretty much dependent upon the teacher's willingness to adapt on a case-by-case basis. The USDA issued some guidelines (see www.fns. usda.gov/cnd/Guidance/special_dietary_needs. pdf); although these pertain primarily to food service, the document may provide some helpful regulatory references and links for more information. You might just repeatedly request (every quarter) a preview of the types of food-related activities planned for the classroom, and their dates -- and then send in substitutions for your child. Another way to tackle this is to develop a school health care plan under FCPS Regulation 2104.5 (Health Services—School Health-Related Needs), in addition to an IEP. You can download it from their website at www.fcps.edu/dss/ips/ssaw/healthservices. |
