Cooking Club

An opportunity for some of the older children we work with to build their skills of independence to the next level.

The children in the group decide what meal they want to cook the following week , shop for the ingredients prior to the group, then prepare the food. They have to follow a recipe, negotiate who is doing what, plan the steps of the recipe and learn to use various kitchen appliances safely. They learn important life skills and practise their social and executive functioning skills, as well as being exposed to new foods.

As with all our groups, parents and caregivers are provided with strategies and ideas to practise at home to continue the learning and ensure lasting change.
