[Rehab] Looking for some techniques/tools

[debbie gabe]

 Hi,
Teach your student  to listen, smell, feel when safe, and to use any other non visual cues available at any particular moment.   The smells and sounds change when frying in a skillet.  You can often tell when something is done by how the kitchen smells,  etc.  Blind people can do anything in the kitchen.  They just need to be constantly aware of their environment. 

I taught personal and home management to blind people for 9 years. 
Email me if you have specific questions.

I'm in Hawaii. We are on Hawaii time so 5 hours behind east coast. When the mainland changes their clock, we'll be 6 hours behind east coast. 
Good luck,
Debbie Gabe
Honolulu, Hawaii

Are there any techniques for someone who is newly blinded to learn skillet cooking safely? The person loves livers and I am just not sure what is the best way to teach them?
