Using visual recipes for independent living

Use a recipe separated into segments to highlight one step at a time, including a photo or video of each step.

Create your own using Google images or search the internet for ready-made recipes.  Visual recipe books are also available at sites such as www.amazon.com.  Recipes will range in their reading levels and required skills and can be tailored to individual students' needs.
