Adaptation of EFNEP Curriculum for Blind Participants

The EFNEP curriculum was adjusted to accommodate a group of four blind participants. A braille machine was used at each lesson to record notes and copy recipes. Braille markers were made of washable plastic for measuring spoons, cups, and canisters. Kitchen order was found to be extremely important for the participants, so kitchen order was added as a lesson. EFNEP, which encourages all limited resource people to participate, should take into consideration the complex problems of some participants, especially those with disabilities.
