Life Skills - Discoverers - How to set the table for dinner
Please watch this short video made by Ruth's (one of our LSA's) children where they demonstrate how to set the table for dinner.
Your young person can also use the symbols further down the page for support if you print them off and lay them out as you would when setting the table.
The stages you can try with your young person are (in order of supported to fully independent):
- Only have out the three pieces of cutlery at a time for them to choose and set out following the symbols.
- Put all the cutlery out for them to choose what they need then lay each place setting following the symbols.
- Collect the cutlery independently and lay it out following the symbols.
- Collect the cutlery independently and set it out with no visual support.
Try not to talk too much just silently gesture or point if they are stuck or get something wrong.
