Get ready to explore, experiment, and own the kitchen! In this exciting episode of Blind Abilities, Jeff Thompson visits the Ready, Set, Prep program at State Services for the Blind of Minnesota—a hands-on class designed for blind and visually impaired students to learn cooking and life skills in a fully accessible kitchen. From learning how to shred chicken, use the oven, or master kitchen gadgets like garlic presses and rice cookers, students are not only building skills but gaining confidence, independence, and community. Led by rehabilitation teacher Kia Sadler and Pre-ETS counselor Kate Larson, the program is about more than food—it’s about teamwork, creativity, and realizing that you can take the lead in your own kitchen. Hear from students who share their favorite recipes, learning moments, and how they’re already impressing their families at home. This is where blind youth cook up confidence—one recipe at a time!
