Traditionally, people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) are the “passive recipients” of meals prepared by others. However, everyone, regardless of ability level, should be able to make choices concerning the food they eat. We can all learn to prepare food or to actively participate in food preparation for ourselves and others.
Tomorrow’s conversation features author and nutritionist Janice Goldschmidt, MPH, MS, RD, LDN. As Director of Nutrition Services at Community Support Services, Inc. (Gaithersburg, MD), Janice has worked on the identification, classification, and treatment of eating disorders for populations with special needs. Her research has appeared in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as well as in the Behavioral Health Nutrition Dietetics Practice Group Newsletter.
Join us as we reflect on a new instructional model called ‘Active Engagement.’ Based on a framework of good nutritional principles and evidence-based instructional practices, Active Engagement, in relation to food preparation, is making the creative triumphs and delectable satisfaction of cooking accessible to all!
