About this course

Support wanted food-related routines and exploration while keeping choice and professional scope visible.

Designed for recreational therapists and community-based support professionals. Adapt examples to your actual role, preparation, and setting.

What you will learn

• Begin with the person’s direction and describe the current food experience without inventing a diagnosis.
• Distinguish community support from individualized nutrition, swallowing, or other clinical care.
• Design a transparent, optional comparison or routine that preserves the person’s ability to choose or decline.

Put the learning to work

Use realistic grocery and food-exploration examples to plan one accessible support and a useful next step.

Course format and time

7 short captioned video lessons, complementary reading, on-page practice, a ten-question knowledge check, and an optional course evaluation. Plan approximately 60–75 minutes for the full learning experience, including practice and the quiz. This is a planning estimate; completion time varies.

All practice is on the lesson pages. You may keep your own notes using fictional or general examples without identifying client information.
