Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 6:15AM If you struggle with getting fruits & veggies into your kids, I've got some ideas to help. Thanks to Kia at www.todayiatearainbow.com--a fabulous resource for healthy eating for kids & families--for posting my latest blog on eating fruits & veggies.
Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 5:50AM When I find helpful resources, I love to share them with other parents. Recently I've discovered Melanie Potok, a certified speech language pathologist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of feeding disorders. Melanie's blog offers wonderful articles and resources and I thought many "Kitchen Classroom" readers would appreciate her thoughts on autism and picky eating.
Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 7:54AM Messes do happen, spills occur...but the important thing to focus on is connecting and communicating with your child while teaching him/her the important skills to create healthy food. My son, who has autism, loves to cook with me--and that doesn't mean that every cooking experience is seemless or perfect. In this new video demo, you'll see moments when George gets sidetracked and wants to taste his cookie batter--but is able to work with me to get back on track!

Monday, April 16, 2012 at 9:49AM People often ask me how I got started cooking with my son, who has autism, and the other students who have special needs whom I teach. In yesterday's "Philly burbs" paper, a reporter captured pictures and the story of how our cooking journey of connection, communication and learning came to be.
