How do you feed a mentally challenged person?

Answer 1

I would say that it depends on the individual, their age, mental health status, their capabilities. I would say there isn't a complete answer to this question as it's too generic. Think about the individual, think about the food/meal, think about their requirements and the support they need, their understanding, their communication methods and abilities, your relationship with them, are they comfortable with you? The environment, the utensils/equipment available. All in all the most important thing is that the individual receives satisfaction and their nutritional requirements are met.
