Cooking as a part of my experience in feildwork one.

The following five youtube videos are relative to my placement in that cooking was a tool used to help the clients interact. My placement was in a commuinity adult intellectual disability day program, which emphasised the importance of group actvity. This was done in a weekly timetable of various activites in which the service users were able to choose which occupations they participated in. This was my longitudinal placement meaning I came 1 day a week for 13 weeks, for 3-4 hours at a time. One of the activites I often took part in and sometimes ran was cooking. The following videos I have chosen are representative of the many aspects important in cooking. Involving healthy food choices, social interaction, teamwork, and extreme food prepration!

  2. Hi Charlotte, I really enjoyed the social interaction I gained with the clients. Cooking enabled relationship building and group bonding. At the same time when the final product was made so the clients had something to be proud of.
