No. 1 A PUBLICATION FOR CHILD NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS FROM THE NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSIITUTE MANAGING NUTRITION SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS WELCOME TO NFSMI INSIGHT This new publication is created to communicate National Food Service Management Institute (NFSMI) research and projects to you, the Child Nutrition Professional, in reader-friendly terms. Our goal is to help you incorporate state-of-the-art information and procedures into the daily operation of Child Nutrition Programs. We hope this publication will be read, used, and shared by all people interested in the health and well-being of children. The format of NFSMI Inslght is designed to slip easily into a file or a three-ring notebook. This publication will be produced periodically. Please let us know if NFSMI Insight has been helpful and we would be interested in your ideas for additional topics. OVERVIEW OF THIS ISSUE Children who have a variety of special food and nutrition needs exist in every school district. Studies have shown that most school nutrition managers have at least one child in their school with special needs. The medical conditions reported most frequently include food allergies, diabetes, and a variety of disorders that require modifications to the texture of food. Federal regulations require school nutrition professionals to modify meals for a child with a medical authorization that his or her diet is restricted by a disability. Providing special meals need not be a costly undertaking for school nutrition services. This issue of NFSMI Insight presents recommendations for managing nutrition services for children with special food and nutrition needs These recommendations focus on administrative processes that can reduce labor and food costs.

Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... K-12 Parents fight for services for special-needs children May 11, 2005 CANTON, Conn. Since 3-year-old Ryan Taylor was diagnosed with autism last year, his family's living room has been doubling as a classroom where his parents are his teachers. ADVERTISEMENT His face breaks into a huge grin when his mom, Nancy, helps guide his hands while singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." The classic childhood game is one of many that helps him learn communication skills. Ryan didn't always learn at home. While he used to receive therapy under the state's Birth to Three program for developmentally delayed children, he grew too old for it and was sent to his local school. When the school couldn't match that program, the Taylors worried Ryan would regress and decided to teach him at home. They also hired a lawyer to begin appealing the school's program. His parents aren't teachers and working with him at home has challenges. "We have found that many ways we think we're being creative, we thought we're doing the right thing, and ... the psychologist will look at us and say, 'You shouldn't have done that,'" Craig Taylor, a former state lawmaker, said. Family advocates say the Taylors' problem is one of many faced by families who have children with developmental disabilities such as autism, Asperger's Syndrome and cerebral palsy. Advocates say the state needs a better system to take care of the children from birth to death.

Kraska Auburn University Federal legislation mandates that the full range of vocational education programs and services be accessible to special populations ( Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act of 1990 ). The Perkins Act describes members of these "special populations" as "individuals with handicaps, educationally and economically disadvantaged individuals (including foster children), individuals of limited English proficiency, individuals who participate in programs designed to eliminate sex bias, and individuals in correctional institutions" (Public Law No. 101-392, S 521, 104 Stat. 753, 1991). For purposes of this study, the following specific definitions from the Perkins ( ) legislation were used: The term disadvantaged means individuals (other than individuals with handicaps) who have economic or academic disadvantages and who require special services and assistance in order to enable such individuals to succeed in vocational education programs. [Disadvantaged] includes individuals who are members of economically disadvantaged families, migrants, individuals of limited English proficiency and individuals who are dropouts from, or who are identified as potential dropouts from, secondary school.
