The Challenge
Shea is a young person who has a learning disability. He was dependant on his parents for meal preparation, domestic tasks and general household management. He identified a wish to be able to make himself breakfast in the mornings.
The Change
Shea is unable to follow recipes or written language. Together we practised shopping for ingredients and making meals. We took photos and made an easy read cook book which was personalised to Shea's chosen meals and methods of food preparation.
The Impact
Shea uses the photos from his cookbook when shopping for ingredients. He is able to cook main meals and is planning to cook Christmas dinner for his family. His confidence has grown and he has set new goals for living in his own place in the future
