Today was my final session with the pupils from the Communication Disorder Unit. The pupils were really excited when they found out I would be helping them make hot dogs.
Subconsciously they were learning about “logical sequencing”. For example, the children can dress themselves. But if you ask them what order they put on their clothes, they would struggle to tell you because of the mental age.
Also autistic children do not socialise very well. They were some ‘groups’ in the class who got on really well, but others preferred to be on their own.
The children also learnt important ‘life skills” which they will need later on in life, such as Health and Safety in the Kitchen. My main job today was to help the children slice the onions and the bread finger rolls.
The children really liked the hot dogs! "Super Chef" Leigh wins again, lol!! Even though, many did not like onion.
I have had a wonderful week with the pupils and staff of the C.D.U. So I would like to thank all the staff for letting me work there as part of my assignment. You’ve all been a great help and inspiration to me.
Lots of love and hugs,
