Welcome to my "Ask Me Anything" blog post series!
I answer lots of questions on my social media channels, and it makes sense to share this information (anonymously!) in case it is useful for others, too.
"Hi. My student doesn’t eat much in school, only crisps, chocolate, small cakes, jelly...how can I get them to eat a healthy lunch?"
Fed is better than hungry. We allow children to eat what they like at lunch and snack but offer new foods through cooking lessons to explore without pressure.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, let me know.
*I am not a doctor or medical professional, so for some questions, you might want to contact your GP, the National Autistic Society, or the NHS.
