In the Kitchen: Supporting the Development of Cooking Skills for Individuals with Autism
Wednesday May 08, 2019
Wednesday May 08, 2019
About the Webinar
Three programs with a focus on Autism will be introduced:
Janice Goldschmidt, MS, RD, LDN will outline her program "Active Engagement" where each participant is guided to prepare their own meal through a system based on choice and individualization. Participants are supported with adaptive tools, methodologies and specialized recipes.
Veronica VanCleave-Hunt, MS will describe the Teen Group Food Lab at the Autism Clinic (CSU – Chico), a weekly after-school program designed to promote health education. Here, high-functioning teens with Autism are introduced to the principles of nutrition and food preparation.
Lastly, Katharine Rug, MS, RD, LD will introduce her program, "Direct Support Nutrition," aimed at Direct Support Professionals and caregivers who are typically responsible for the food-related components of life for adults on the spectrum (e.g., shopping, meal planning). Modules include cooking, food safety, and basic nutrition.
The three speakers will specifically address the challenges involved in supporting clients with cognitive/motor impairments and provide guidelines for problem-solving. Nutrition professionals will find the pragmatic teaching strategies to be of use with other at-risk populations including seniors with dementia, other disability cohorts, and typically-developing children.

About the Webinar
With increasing income and urbanization, dietary intake in India has shifted toward being higher in energy-dense, refined foods and lower in fiber in a process called the nutrition transition. This nutrition transition has subsequently led to a rising burden of NCDs such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. To develop interventions targeting key risk factors for diet-related NCDs in India, a greater understanding of underlying drivers of dietary behaviors is required. Decisions relating to diet are complex and vary across cultural, contextual, and personal factors. Given that women are the primary household cooks, and that women are more likely to be overweight or obese compared to men, the objective of this study was to determine the factors influencing food choice among young adult women living in Delhi.

Friday Apr 12, 2019
About the Webinar
Digital technologies such as mobile and Internet of Things platforms, social media, podcasts, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence have become part of everyday life in the 21st century. Opportunities abound for nutrition educators to leverage cutting-edge technologies to meet our audiences where they are - expanding our reach, enhance our programs, and improve how we gather and disseminate nutrition information.
During this webinar, we will review emerging technologies, including machine learning, cloud computing, augmented and virtual reality, geographic information systems (GIS), and voice tech. We will present a number of examples of how these emerging technologies are being used in nutrition education as well as novel applications of more established technologies, including mHealth apps and podcasting. There will be a Q&A for participants.
This webinar is sponsored by the Digital Technology Division.
