We couldn’t be prouder!! This is why we love what we do. Levelling up in the kitchen! 🔥

12 months ago we were learning to make 2-minute noodles. Now we’re independently preparing steak sandwiches. 🥩🥪

We can only imagine what they’ll be achieving in the next 12 months!

Cooking helps build executive functioning, confidence and everyday independence. The divided attention required to manage a hot element while also prepping the cold ingredients was so incredible to see how far this person had come.

What would be in your perfect steak sandwich? 🥪

🔤 📝 We’ve been focusing on letter spacing in sessions recently and have been loving using Wikki Stix as a visual and tactile guide. This simple strategy helps children see and feel where their letters and words should go - and it’s easy to try at home! 🙌
No Wikki Stix? No problem! Try: String or wool, Pipe cleaners, Strips of paper or Pasta
