I agree, perhaps if you had ask the question a little better, I would have
answered in a little more helpful way. Kerry Friddell

I would like to add one thing. If I had thought or understood the reason
for asking I may have been a little more descriptive when talking about why
Blind people should be able to cook. I think that others have covered most
of it. I would add that learning as many skills as possible probably helps
all people disabled or not to feel good.

I apologize if the simplicity of this question has offended anyone.
Of course I believe that this is important for the student. I would
not have joined this list if I didn't feel it was important for me, as
a adventitiously blind adult, to learn how to work in the kitchen with
little to no usable vision.
My project is nothing big. I am suppossed to teach a unit involving
an area of the expanded core curriculum. I felt it would be fun to
try teaching a student to cook. Part of the assigment involved a
rationale for why we chose this section. I thought it would be
interesting to have a variety of reasons as to why this is an
important area. I appreciate all of you who have responded. I knew
I could get some thoughtful and varied responses by posing this
question to you all.
Thanks again and keep them coming if anyone who hasn't responded would
like to.
Thanks

Hi Denise.
I feel cooking and other kitchen skills are important for blind and
visually
impaired individuals because acquiring these skills help all
individuals--whether visually impaired, blind or sighted--to become more
independent.
The knowledge of Kitchen skills gives me a sense of usefulness. I live
with
my parents for now; therefore, my ability to cook and perform other
skills
in the kitchen helps take some of the household responsibility away from
my
parents.
Hope this helps,
Becky

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
