Tips for Teaching Cooking Skills to Youth with Disabilities
NEW from the Washington State Department of Health
Cooking classes are a new fad and are popping up everywhere. It's not unusual to locate a culinary class in a grocery store, health facility, YMCA, or higher education opportunities. There is ample research on the impact of culinary instruction and positive health outcomes for persons with disabilities, but little on program design or skill-set development. Creating a culinary program that promotes health and independence for persons with disabilities through the use of the active engagement model is key!
This training is for anyone who would like to advance cooking skills for individuals with intellectual developmental delay, cognitive and/or motor impairment.

As always, do your research to see if these opportunities will be a good fit for your child. And if you know of more fun happening in the valley this summer, let me know and I'll add it to the list.
