DESCRIPTION:Date: April 18\, 2017  Time: 4:00 p.m. EST \nIntroducing Active
  Engagement: A new program for teaching cooking skills to individuals with
  IDD      \nPresented by Janice Goldschmidt\, MS\, RD\, LDN&nbsp\;  Conten
 t Overview:        This presentation will launch a book that will be publi
 shed by AAIDD in June. The title is Active Engagement: Teaching Authentic 
 Cooking Skills to Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
  Janice Goldschmidt\, the author\, will provide an overview of the book th
 at draws on the evidence-based structure of the program as well as the phi
 losophical foundation. A Registered Dietitian and experienced IDD practiti
 oner\, Ms. Goldschmidt has&nbsp\;spent the last decade working with indivi
 duals with disabilities on the development of cooking skills as a form of 
 nutritional intervention and as a way of teaching practical skills to prom
 ote independence and self-determination. The presentation will include a b
 rief discussion of some of the epidemiological trends for the IDD populati
 on and how development of cooking capacity can help mitigate some of the h
 ealth-related pathologies associated with the high rates of obesity. The c
 onceptual framework for the program will be introduced\, and the author wi
 ll explain how the emphasis on choice and individualization make Active En
 gagement very different from traditional cooking programs for the IDD popu
 lation. Introductory teaching activities using adaptive tools will be addr
 essed\, as well as important steps needed to adapt recipes for those with 
 IDD. Food skills\, activities that support cooking but that are not direct
 ly related\, will also be introduced as another means of drawing individua
 ls with IDD into the realm of food preparation.&nbsp\; \nIt is anticipated
  that this introductory tour of Active Engagement will help caregivers\, s
 upport staff\, educators\, and practitioners from a wide range of discipli
 nes develop an understanding of how this new book can be incorporated into
  programs or activities. At the close of the presentation\, the author wil
 l take questions and offer problem-solving suggestions in response to spec
 ific issues that participants have experienced.&nbsp\; \nThis is an AAIDD 
 webinar.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;       &nbsp\;  &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nb

 ive Engagement: Teaching Authentic Cooking Skills to Adults with Intellect

  provide an overview of the book that draws on the evidence-based structur
 e of the program as well as the philosophical foundation. A Registered Die
 titian and experienced IDD practitioner\, Ms. Goldschmidt has&nbsp\;spent 
 the last decade working with individuals with disabilities on the developm
 ent of cooking skills as a form of nutritional intervention and as a way o
 f teaching practical skills to promote independence and self-determination
 . The presentation will include a brief discussion of some of the epidemio
 logical trends for the IDD population and how development of cooking capac
 ity can help mitigate some of the health-related pathologies associated wi
 th the high rates of obesity. The conceptual framework for the program wil

 nd individualization make Active Engagement very different from traditiona
 l cooking programs for the IDD population. Introductory teaching activitie
 s using adaptive tools will be addressed\, as well as important steps need
 ed to adapt recipes for those with IDD. Food skills\, activities that supp
 ort cooking but that are not directly related\, will also be introduced as
  another means of drawing individuals with IDD into the realm of food prep
