What do we do ?
Kids Fun Baking
(KFB)
Pacific Speech Therapy and Learning Centre used to have a Kids Fun Baking (KBF) program which provides a fun, practical and hands-on learning experience for children of age 3 and above. With that, it helps to promote sensory processing, motor development, attention span, early literacy skills, creativity and a sense of accomplishment. This program served as the foundation and has evolved into Pacific Bakery Project (PBP) for teens and young adults.
Pacific Vocational Bakery (PVB)
PVB is founded to focus on functioning skills training and job coaching in order to guide teens with autism to be independent and thus, earn a living and reduce the burden on the family. They do stand for a chance to gain employment in the working world. Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Counselors and Special needs educators will be the team of coaches who will be assessing the strength, functional ability and weaknesses (functional profile) of the teens and young adults. With that, they will be trained in the bakery according to their functional profile. Thus, it will be a safe space for teens and young adults with autism to work in.
How does it work?
Functional skills training focuses on the PRACTICAL application of skills learned with keys concept for example as below:
Group 1
Teens with low sensory registration/ high threshold to pain (in response to pain or danger) will not be allocated to in charge of task involving cutting or operating oven. Instead, they may be in charge of packing.
Group 2
Teens who seek for sensory movement will be allocated to roll the dough, which involves heavy physical movement.
Group 3
Teens who are obsessed with repetitive movement patterns will be assigned to seal the plastic after packing.
