My Project

The students in my class are high school students with Intellectual Disabilities, Autism, and other disabilities.

I hope to provide my students with the skills needed for independent living and to help them prepare for what comes after high school including cooking and cleaning.

Some of their favorite lessons are the cooking lessons. With the help of the kitchen island, stools, and bistro table, I will be able to include my students in the cooking process and give them front row seats so that they can be immersed in the cooking process.
