What are the benefits of cooking with your peers? There are many benefits aside from the obvious advantages of peer socialization and team building.
One main principle we focus on is task analysis. Direct Support professionals break tasks into simple steps and explicitly teach how to perform each step before putting the steps together.
Cooking is a fun activity which naturally teaches problem solving through tasks such as measuring out ingredients in the appropriate amounts. The finished food item is also enjoyed by everyone.
Regardless of ability level, there is always something everyone can do in the kitchen. These opportunities can enhance confidence and self-esteem.
