Special Diet & Nutrition Support

Empowering Children with Autism Through Thoughtful, Nutritional Care

At The Autism Foundation International (T.A.F.I), we recognize that nutrition plays a vital role in the development, behavior, and overall well-being of children on the autism spectrum. Many autistic children experience food sensitivities, gastrointestinal issues, or selective eating habits that require special dietary care.

Our Special Diet & Nutrition Support program is designed to provide personalized meal plans that align with each child’s health needs, therapy goals, and sensory preferences — all within a safe and supportive environment.

Why Nutrition Matters for Autistic Children

Proper nutrition supports focus, behavior regulation, energy levels, and emotional balance. At T.A.F.I, we work with caregivers and health professionals to ensure that every child receives nutritionally balanced meals that are:

• Free from harmful allergens (e.g. gluten, dairy, soy, or sugar where required)
• Designed for sensory-friendly textures and presentation
• Aligned with medical or behavioral therapy needs

What We Offer:

• Personalized Meal Planning based on individual dietary assessments
• Meal Prep & Monitoring to track intake, digestion, and behavior response
• Allergen-Free Options and texture-sensitive servings
• Parent Collaboration to maintain consistent nutrition at home and school
• Therapist-Informed Menus integrated with child development programs

Our in-house staff prepares meals fresh each day, ensuring cleanliness, nutritional value, and child-appropriate servings.

Designed for Inclusion & Wellness

We serve children with a wide range of feeding challenges and medical needs, including:

• Sensory aversion to textures or tastes
• Autism-related gastrointestinal issues
• Nutritional deficiencies linked to restricted diets
• Food anxiety and selective eating habits

How to Access This Service

This program is included for all children enrolled in our daycare, boarding, or therapy programs. During the enrolment process, we conduct a brief nutritional assessment to tailor the child’s food plan accordingly.
