Specialized Nutrition Services
For Individuals with Intellectual and
Developmental Disorders and Autism
Our mission is to provide tailored nutrition services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism. We aim to promote independence in the kitchen and grocery store, making balanced nutrition accessible for people of all abilities, from start to finish.
We understand that the most challenging aspect of changing nutrition habits is often integrating the advice from healthcare professionals into your lifestyle.
By pairing personalized nutrition counseling with hands-on skillbuilding sessions in the kitchen and grocery store, we support individuals and their families and caregivers every step of the way.
