Breaking bread, nourishing connections

"Mealtimes are about much more than eating. When we share a meal, we're enjoying the company of others, participating in a meaningful social ritual, and nourishing human connections. But sometimes, people with disabilities miss out on these essential aspects of dining - and that's where this warm, engaging guidebook comes in." "Developed by authors with extensive personal and professional mealtime experiences with people with and without disabilities - and incorporating the input of a nutritionist, human services professionals, educators, and people with disabilities and their families - this practical handbook helps you ensure pleasurable, fully inclusive mealtimes. Whether you're a parent, a friend, or a human services professional, you'll gain new insight on what dining can mean and learn how to support people with disabilities." "With this easy-to-use book, enhanced with personal stories and photographs from individuals and families around the world, you'll enjoy meaningful and inclusive mealtimes with people who have disabilities."--Jacket.
