PROGRAM PURPOSE AND GOALS:
 
​Enhanced Social Skills and Teamwork:
Cooking in a group requires cooperation, communication, and teamwork as participants share tasks, follow instructions, and help one another, fostering social engagement. Working together to create a meal offers a shared experience that can help neurodiverse teens connect with others, reducing feelings of isolation and enhancing their sense of belonging.
 
Life Skills and Practical Independence:
Learning to cook empowers teens with the ability to prepare their own meals, promoting independence and preparing them for adult responsibilities. Handling knives, heat, and other cooking tools in a supervised setting teaches essential kitchen safety, hygiene, and risk management.
