The USDA requires reasonable meal modifications on a case-by-case basis for children whose disability restricts their diet, based on a medical statement signed by a licensed physician. “Case-by-case basis” means that the meal modifications are specific to the individual medical condition and dietary needs of each child. The modifications should include recommended alternative foods. Once a special diet modification is submitted to the school, it will be reviewed and then implemented.
