Requesting Dietary Modifications/Accommodations
If your child has a disability that falls under the Americans with Disabilities Act (such as a food allergy that may result in anaphylaxis), a medical statement from a State licensed healthcare professional, such as a physician or nurse practitioner, is required to provide a reasonable modification/ accommodation of menu items offered in the school breakfast and lunch program. The medical statement should include a description of the child’s physical or mental impairment that is sufficient to allow the Food Service Department to understand how it restricts the child’s diet. It should also explain what must be done to accommodate the disability. Regarding food allergies/intolerance, this means identifying the food or foods to be omitted and recommending alternatives. The required Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) Medical Statement to Request Special Meals and/or Accommodations is linked below.
