Did you know that cooking and meal preparation is considered an integral part of what Occupational Therapists call Instrumental Activities of Daily Living?! Yup! Occupational Therapists work on the occupation of cooking Yesterday, via Telehealth, Miss. Michelle and a patient made soda bread. There was lots of laughter So many things go into making a simple meal: ... How much muscle pressure to exert when pouring liquids, scooping ingredients or squeezing items out of tubes Upper extremity coordination, shoulder stability and fine motor skills to mix and open/close ingredients Temporal organization and motor planning skills to gather ingredients, cooking utensils and gadgets, follow the recipe and, wash the dishes Safety awareness when it comes to temperature, sharp objects and washing dishes Auditory and visual attention to follow instruction The ability to modulate ones sensory experiences when an ingredient or method in the recipe may be unpleasant, such as sticky or slimy or too strong of a smell What should we cook next time
