We continue to host a cooking class once a month. In the past few months, we have made mac n cheese, smoothies, and mug pancakes! The participants got practice in cutting, pouring, and trying new flavors (even if they didn't like it!). Some have even learned Ms. Sharon's mantra "Cleaning is part of cooking!" They also got opportunities to share supplies ("I need some bananas please."), to ask each other questions ("Can I try your mac n cheese?"), and to hang out with each other. Please talk to the front desk if interested!

Every week, the occupational therapists at SCT have different Foods of the Week available to clients who are seen for feeding concerns in order to introduce novel foods of various textures and flavors, to increase oral awareness, and/or to improve oral motor skills. This week’s “Foods of the Week” are crispy coconut rolls, green apples, and caramel sauce. The coconut rolls can be found at Costco and the apples and caramel sauce can be found at Trader Joes or any other grocery store. You can try these separately or make “apple nachos” with crumbled coconut rolls. The apple provides a juicy and crisp texture. The caramel is sweet and smooth, and the coconut rolls provide a crunchy texture for kiddos to explore. #feedingtherapy #foodoftheweek

This month’s sign of the month is “eat.” Hold your fingertips together and bring your hand to your mouth as if eating. You can demonstrate this sign to your child or use hand over hand assistance to guide their hands. Sign language is a visual language that uses hands, movements, and facial expressions to communicate words. Sign language helps to facilitate and encourage language development by providing children earlier access to language. There are several advantages to early introduction of sign language in children including: improved social skills, increased confidence, and improved self esteem. For a preverbal child or a child with a speech delay, communicating through signs provides a means to express themselves which in turn helps them to avoid frustration and tantrums.
