We teamed up with Al-Masar Child Development Services Centre for a fun cooking session that promotes engagement, communication and life skills for kids on the autistic spectrum.
To make this tasty pasta salad, use a visual recipe that shows a picture or illustration of each step. Visuals are a good way to help children follow step-by-step directions.
