COOKING

Cooking is not only a great pass-time, but also acts as an excellent way for youth/children with autism to develop key skills, such as fine motor skills (through the act of pouring, mixing, cutting etc.) and social/communication skills (through the social interaction children/youth will have with their friends/family when cooking.

Coping mechanisms and ways of calming down after a long day are incredibly important skills for autistic youth. Below we have created a free printable activity book great for calming down or simple keeping busy during boring days.
