Conclusion

This study demonstrates that caregivers of children with cerebral palsy face layered and intersecting barriers such as good consistency to providing appropriate and nutritious food within constrained food environments. While food may be present at household level, limitations in availability, access, utilization and stability collectively undermine the realization of the right to food for children with CP. The findings highlight the inadequacy of food security frameworks and policy responses that do not explicitly account for disability. Adopting a food sovereignty perspective also highlights the importance of designing food systems that are inclusive of diverse feeding abilities and nutritional requirements. Without such reforms, children with CP will continue to experience disproportionate vulnerability to food insecurity, with implications for growth, development and long‐term health outcomes.
