Description

This panel presentation describes three specialized nutrition programs designed to support development of cooking skills for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Though different in focus and scope, each approach draws attention to the adaptive materials, tools and methodologies available for inclusion. Cooking capacity is important as it contributes to increased independence, allows participation in the surrounding culture, and can help enhance nutritional status.
