Supporting Functional Goals
Our visual recipes are designed to support the development of everyday life skills through meaningful, engaging cooking experiences.
The resources may assist children to work towards goals related to:
- Independence in daily living
- Sequencing and task completion
- Executive functioning skills
- Following routines and visual supports
- Participation in family and community activities
- Confidence and self-efficacy in practical life skills
The clear visual format reduces reliance on reading ability and adult prompting, making the recipes suitable for many children who benefit from visual supports, predictable routines, and structured learning opportunities.
These resources can be incorporated into therapy programs, home practice, and skill-building activities to support functional outcomes in a real-world context.
