For many families, the kitchen is the most important place in a home. Often a focal point for family social interaction, the kitchen offers many activities that engage every member of a household: from eating to chores to discussion of day-to-day events. It is also a place for learning and offers smells, tastes, sounds and hands-on experiences, especially essential for children. Safety concerns often discourage parents of visually impaired children from allowing them to participate in kitchen activities. In the upcoming Seminar@Hadley, "Kids in the Kitchen", we will discuss techniques and teaching tips to help caregivers feel comfortable allowing their blind child to participate in cooking and cleaning activities. Presenters will be Linn Sorge and Sue Melrose, Hadley instructors, with discussion moderated by Karen Woodfork, Director of Student Services.
