Special nutrition

For children and adolescents with disabilities, it can be challenging to obtain sufficient nutrients and calories through regular food intake. This is where specialized nutrition comes into play, tailored to individual needs and limitations. Enteral nutrition, anti-reflux formula, and liquid nutrition are just a few examples of specialized nutrition developed specifically for the needs of children and adolescents with disabilities. Enteral nutrition is administered directly into the stomach or intestines through a feeding tube, while anti-reflux formula and liquid nutrition help reduce unwanted symptoms such as reflux or swallowing difficulties. Specialized nutrition can contribute to ensuring that children and adolescents with disabilities receive a balanced and adequate diet that supports their health and development. It is essential to work with a doctor or nutrition specialist to determine the best specialized nutrition for individual needs and limitations.
