Knowing some of the visually impaired, as I know them, I take no offense to the question.
My sight is light. Or no useable vision as the doc would say.

P. S. Even know some sighted as unskilled in the kitchen.RJ

Personally, I found the fact that you felt you needed to ask such a
question was offensive.  About what other group of people would you
ask such a question, e.g., Why would a person who is mentally ill need
to learn to cook; why would a wheel chair user need to learn to cook;
why would a cancer patient need to learn to cook?  Really, a vision
teacher, of all people, should be able to answer a question like this
one without soliciting the opinions of visually imapired cooks!

Maybe you should take a look at your "Foundations of Rehabilitation
Teaching" or other textbooks.

Quite simply, it is just as important to know cooking and kitchen skills

Dear list,

I am currently taking classes to become a TVI and have a project
involving cooking.

I would like to ask you guys about why you feel it is an important
skill for a blind/visually impaired student (or adult) to know how to
cook and other kitchen skills.

Thanks
Denise
