Teaching Authentic Cooking Skills to Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Active Engagement is a unique instructional tool used to address two critical issues in working with adults with IDD: promoting healthy eating habits and teaching real-life skills that will enhance independence and self-determination.

The book features good nutritional principles and evidence-based instructional practices, incorporating direct instruction, individualized choice-making, and experiential learning. This is not a cookbook, although there are a number of adaptive recipes embedded as examples throughout.

This book provides detailed information on the Active Engagement program and how to implement it in teaching real cooking skills. Topics include:

    • Cooking as nutritional intervention
    • Teaching framework for cooking skills
    • Implementing cooking instruction around American consumption patterns
    • Teaching basic skills with adaptive tools
    • New approaches to recipes
    • Universal and specialized appliances
    • Supporting cooking skills with food skills

Janice Goldschmidt was awarded the 2018 Excellence in Written Communication Award from the Behavioral Health Nutrition Dietetics Practice Group of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for this book.

The SIS-A^® Annual Review Protocol is a questionnaire created to help planning teams identify people whose intensity of support needs might have changed in important ways since their last SIS-A assessment.

The protocol focuses on possible significant changes due to important life events and/or health or behavioral concerns, captured in 21 SIS-A items particularly critical to understanding the support need domains  of the SIS-A.

At the conclusion of the protocol, a determination is made as to whether the person’s support needs have or have not changed in important ways, and, if so, the planning team includes a description of the next steps required.

The Supports Intensity Scale-Children’s Version® (SIS-C®) is a standardized, norm-referenced measure of the intensity of support needs for children between the ages of 5 and 16. 

The purpose of the user’s manual is to enable users to administer and score the SIS-C with fidelity, and to interpret and use findings from the SIS-C in ways that will enhance planning processes and outcomes for children with ID.

This product bundle consists of one copy of the user’s manual and 25 copies of the interview form.
