Why Use a Visual Recipe for Bible Lessons?
Visual recipes are an excellent tool for children who are:
- Neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, etc.)
- Nonverbal or limited verbal
- English Language Learners
- In early childhood education or special education settings
Visual supports help learners build confidence while practicing:
✅ Sequencing
✅ Fine motor skills
✅ Vocabulary
✅ Following directions
✅ Expressive and receptive language
✅ Basic concepts (colors, textures, size)
✅ Sensory exploration
🍎 Pro Tip: Invite children to use core AAC words like “help,” “more,” “in,” “stir,” “eat,” and “good” as they make their snack!
