Description
Tiya Vala, Radia Ameen, and Skye Nandi Adams published this 2026 study on food access for children with cerebral palsy in South Africa. These children often eat with difficulty and need more nutrients, while their care takes extra time and money. That mix can push households toward food insecurity. The team studied how feeding plays out inside real homes.
Caregivers of children aged two to eight filled surveys on food access and feeding practice. Interviews then explored daily feeding in depth. Food was usually in the house, yet it often missed the child's needs. Caregivers adapted textures and stretched mealtimes. Tight budgets, grant dependence, transport trouble, and unstable income all bit. The study frames feeding support as a right-to-food issue, not just a medical one.
