Pop-Up Zoom Meeting: On-Site Claims Verification/Validation Reviews (CDSS Notice)

šŸ—“ļø Thursday at 11:00 AM Pacific | šŸ“ Zoom

⭐ Free for CACFP Roundtable Members 

šŸ·ļøĀ $25.00 Non-membersĀ 



Our communities are facing uncertainty and hardship in a number of ways. This week, California Department of Social Services - CACFP Branch, sent an email to all California CACFP Sponsors and facilities sharing that the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Services (USDA FNS) will conduct on-site reviews in the next 60 calendar days. Along with this notification, there was a request for specific information outlined in this notice. CACFP Roundtable thought you might have questions or concerns, and are therefore providing space to hear directly from CDSS and each other.Ā 

  • Jessie Rosales, CDSS CACFP Branch Chief, will join us for the first 30 minutes to give voice to the email you received and listen to your concerns and questions.Ā 

  • Liza M. Davis, Esq., Advocacy Director, Children in Immigrant Families from the Children's Partnership, will also join us toĀ talk to us about what your rights are when people come to your facilities.Ā 

We may not have all the answers, but we believe it is important to come together to 1) support each other, and 2) gather questions and concerns to lift up to CDSS and other policy makers as appropriate.Ā 


CACFP Roundtable holds these pop-ups in response to what the community might need in the moment. Join us with your questions, ideas, and concerns.Ā Ā  Register here



Become a Mealtime Ally: Understanding & Navigating Feeding Challenges in CACFP Settings


Grab your favorite snack and join us for a dynamic session on Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD)—a condition affecting more than 1 in 37 children under age 5, and as common as autism or cerebral palsy. Early interventionists and CACFP professionals are often the first to support families facing mealtime challenges, which can be stressful for children, staff, and caregivers alike. Through a compassionate, relationship-focused lens, feeding therapists Allie Glazer, M.S.CCC-SLP/L, and Angela Hughes, M.S.CCC-SLP/L will reframe "picky eating," highlight the complexity of feeding, and distinguish typical struggles from PFD.


​Participants will learn about the four domains of PFD, debunk common feeding myths, and discover why mealtimes can be overwhelming—often due to sensory and skill-based factors, not just behavior. The practical "3 P’s Framework"—Proactive Preparation, Practical Presentation, and Partnership—will equip you with actionable, pressure-free strategies to support positive food experiences and healthy caregiver-child relationships. Walk away ready to spot red flags, use screening tools, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and empower families and staff to champion lifelong healthy relationships with food.Ā If you can't make it at the designated time, you can access it for a year on-demand afterward.


Simultaneous interpretation will be provided.Ā 


Conviértase en un aliado a la hora de comer: comprender y afrontar los retos de la alimentación en los entornos CACFP

Traiga su aperitivo favorito y únase a nosotros en una dinÔmica sesión sobre los trastornos alimentarios pediÔtricos (PFD), una afección que afecta a mÔs de 1 de cada 37 niños menores de 5 años y que es tan común como el autismo o la parÔlisis cerebral. Los especialistas en intervención temprana y los profesionales del CACFP suelen ser los primeros en apoyar a las familias que se enfrentan a dificultades a la hora de comer, lo que puede resultar estresante tanto para los niños como para el personal y los cuidadores. A través de una perspectiva compasiva y centrada en las relaciones, las terapeutas alimentarias Allie Glazer, M.S.CCC-SLP/L, y Angela Hughes, M.S.CCC-SLP/L, replantearÔn el concepto de «alimentación selectiva», destacarÔn la complejidad de la alimentación y distinguirÔn las dificultades típicas de los PFD.


Los participantes aprenderÔn sobre los cuatro Ômbitos de los trastornos alimentarios funcionales (PFD), desmontarÔn mitos comunes sobre la alimentación y descubrirÔn por qué las comidas pueden resultar abrumadoras, a menudo debido a factores sensoriales y relacionados con las habilidades, y no solo al comportamiento. El prÔctico «marco de las 3 P» (preparación proactiva, presentación prÔctica y colaboración) le proporcionarÔ estrategias viables y sin presión para fomentar experiencias alimentarias positivas y relaciones saludables entre los cuidadores y los niños. Al finalizar, estarÔ preparado para detectar señales de alerta, utilizar herramientas de evaluación, colaborar con equipos multidisciplinarios y empoderar a las familias y al personal para que promuevan relaciones saludables con la alimentación durante toda la vida. Si no puede asistir a la hora designada, podrÔ acceder al curso bajo demanda durante un año después de su finalización.


Se proporcionarÔ interpretación simultÔnea.
