Cooking=Communicating. Essential Skills for Students With Autism

Funded Aug 9, 2017

Thank you so much for funding our class project. All of the supplies will definitely support our students in cooking activities this school year and in the future. So far, we have already used the supplies to make custom chex mix, jell-o with fruit, puppy pound mix, no-bake cookies, yogurt bites, and pretzel hugs. Our students are so engaged when participating in activities that involve food and are learning so much in the process!

When our students first saw the materials, they were so excited to be doing cooking activities! Having all of these items really helps us be able to cook a variety of recipes in the classroom. Additionally, they are now able to work on identifying so many different kitchen tools, become more independent, and work on kitchen safety.

Our students have so many different needs and interests, and there will definitely be more projects posted in the future. We can't wait to think of a new idea and would love if you are able to contribute (or contribute again!).”

With gratitude,

Ms. Marber
