Kitchen Talk

Kitchen Talk Cooking program that focuses on promoting the communication & social skills of its participants

The kitchen is an exciting place – somewhere where people gather, talk & socialize. “Kitchen Talk” is an innovative program created by Tina Gasee, Speech-Langauge Pathologist. The program focuses on building the communication & social skills of people with various special needs through the motivating element of food. Participants are exposed to communication opportunities with peers in small groups. These interactions are organized by the Speech Therapist & guided by the Therapist & support staff. Various goals are targeted depending on each participant’s needs. Goals may include overall speech rate & clarity (not specific sounds), voice projection, speaking in front of a group, asking & answering questions, body language & eye contact, initiating interactions… “Kitchen Talk” focuses on optimizing participants’ abilities to communicate in a natural setting. Communication, interaction & targeted goals are integrated into a meaningful context.

Gov't funding to families to offset costs for buying learning materials for their children (e.g., workbooks, educational apps, educational subscription services etc.).

If the family has already applied for gov't financial support that was available to parents during the education strikes (I think it was approx $25/strike day), they do not need to apply for the above benefit since it will be directly deposited into their account.

Learn about funding that families can apply for if they have children who are not in school or child care because of coronavirus (COVID-19). Find out if you are eligible and how to apply.
