[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP. are you a teacher?[/quote]

I am a paraprofessional.  I spent all day everyday with this kid, and I and others did whatever we could to get him to eat, but ultimately he would not.  A few bites here and there, just to please us, but basically he could not tolerate eating at school, mostly medication related.  So in the end we had to accept that he would do his eating at home.  And like I said, he was fine healthwise.  Actually, more than fine.[/quote]

Op, a para professional in public schools gets a weeks worth of "training."

Please see a professional and consider an anti anxiety medication.  My kid has gone through this and it only got worse with time.  You may need to have it incorporated into an IEP at some point if it gets worse.[/quote]

I’m not a para, but most have a lot more experience with kids with SN than regular classroom teachers.

Some kids, SN or not, don’t eat at school. The majority of them are fine. Load him up at breakfast and have a substantial snack ready for the ride home. [/quote]
