Building self help skills through cooking

Children have a drive to be independent and do things on their own. This is a healthy part of typical child development. As children grow, they learn to do more and more tasks.

There are different types of self-help skills and one of them is being able to fix a snack for themselves independently.

Teaching your child how to cook is a great educational bonding activity. Cooking and using recipes provides the opportunity to work on the following skills:
Sequencing skills

Listening skills

Reading skills

Math skills (especially for measuring and adjusting recipes.)

In addition, cooking can teach children the concept of nutrition, portioning, and using kitchen equipment, all of­­ which are useful skills for children to learn at any age.

Teaching kids with autism how to cook has tremendous benefits, but there are challenges that are present.
