School Meal Modifications for Children with Disabilities
Schools participating in a federal school meal program (National School Lunch Program, School
Breakfast Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Special Milk Program, and Afterschool Snack
Program) are required to make reasonable accommodations for children who are unable to eat the
school meal because of a disability that restricts the diet. School food authorities must ensure that
parents, guardians, and children have notice of the procedure for requesting meal modifications for
disabilities and the process for procedural safeguards related to meal modifications for disabilities.
