Can I get accommodations for my child at their school cafeteria?
Answer is...
1 The answer is yes, but I almost never recommend asking for any type of ban, like a school wide peanut ban. The fact is they don’t work, they only set up a false sense of security.
2 Research has shown that schools with any type of food banned have a 25% higher rate of Epipen use, as compared to schools that don’t. What you can do is work with your school to put in place proper policies and procedures that will keep your child safe and included. Like anything, there are rare occasions where a limited ban does make sense.
