Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 This has probably been asked before, but what do people do when there is a child in the classroom with severe nut allergies? A new student has this condition in my son's small classroom. My son is supposed to be the one to sit away from the snack/lunch table (at his desk) which means he doesn't get to practice his social skills that are on his IEP. (He spends most of the day just with an aide or teacher 1:1.) Any thoughts? Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi Meg, Don't send in any nut products. All the schools in our area are entirely nut free. Here are some snack/lunch ideas that we send to school: -SCD ice cream -fruit -raisins -gelatin -sandwiches with souffle bread -cinnamon souffle bread -coconut macaroons -meringues -apple sauce/pear sauce -cheese chips -apple chips -celery with scd dripped yogurt cheese -veggies and dip -boiled eggs -soups/stews in a thermos Once you get used to the idea of not relying on nuts to replace breads and baked goods, it isn't that difficult. Good luck!

It is easy to make variations of crunchy crackers using cheese for the base. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Moisten a cookie sheet and line with parchment paper. Moisten the top of the paper slightly. For each cracker: Shred or put thin slices of cheese in a circle about 1 1/2 or 2 inches in diameter on the paper. Add seasonings, olives or anything else you would like (not nuts) or just leave it plain. Bake for 10 minutes, cool and it will peel off easily, These crackers are SCD favorites and a good classroom snack. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks for those ideas, . We aren't on the diet yet, so transitioning without the nut flour seems challenging. Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Thank you, Carol! I hadn't heard about that type of cracker. Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
