Food Preparation: Making Fruit Salad

Fela to be supported to prepare fruit salad and yogurt for his afternoon snack.

*Do not start the session if Fela is above baseline or seems anxious. 

This is a first step to Fela returning to the habit of cooking some of his meals from scratch.

Method:

• Ask Fela if he would like to help you make a fruit salad in the kitchen.
• Staff need to prepare beforehand by making sure all the fruit, bowl and measuring spoon are on the kitchen worktop.
• It might be a good idea to measure out the Cocolabs conut yogurt in the bowl before Fela comes.[he might want you to empty the whole of the yogurt in the bowl]
• Prompt Fela  to wash and dry his hands in the kitchen before starting.
• Staff can start the chopping with 1 knife and encourage Fela to imitate the chopping with the other knife.
