[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another person whose kid didn't eat in school. I think he ate occasionally in 7th grade and the. When he hit puberty he ate more often. He had/has an IEP but it never addressed eating (even when he was in feeding therapy) because no one felt it interfered with his education. [/quote] Eating at lunch is part of socialization and peer relationships. It's sad that a kid in feeding therapy wouldn't have something in his IEP.[/quote] Feeding, just like swallowing, cannot be addressed in the schools because it is a medical, rather than an educational, issue. That doesn't mean that the medical issue does not impact school functioning, but feeding is not a qualifying disability for an IEP. There would be great liability issues and you'd be hard pressed to find a school slp who would be qualified. [/quote] It definitely qualifies for a 504.[/quote]
