I just wanted to share a great big hug to your company for understanding the benefit of visual supports during activities. As an occupational therapist working with children with severe and profound needs, visual supports like your picture recipes help them participate in such a wonderful and multisensory activity. Not only do they get to follow the directions but enjoy the outcome twice as much knowing THEY did it. Thank you very much!
