Providing support during meals is a delicate matter requiring special responsibility when dealing with a person with an eating disorder. It is preferable that meals be eaten at home with family or at the center where they are receiving treatment. It is crucial to keep the school or institute out of the process of assessing and monitoring dietary patterns until eating habits have stabilized. If the student must eat at school, it is advisable that they do so without pressure or explicit supervision, sharing a table with trusted individuals who agree not to give instructions or make judgments.
