A south Auckland special needs school is finding ways to help people with disabilities get around the kitchen.

Students at Mt Richmond Special School have created an innovative design for a knife and chopping board.

Teacher Rachel Titchener said the inspiration for the project came during a cooking class.

“There were various barriers to participation such as visual and mobility impairments experienced by some of the students,” she said.

“There were often onlookers as opposed to participators in cooking, so we decided to try and come up with a way that we could remove some of those barriers.”

Titchener said the chopping board design was made with a specific student in mind.

The project was funded by the SouthSci Participatory Science Platform to the tune of $16,350.

The next SouthSci funding round will open in November.

Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies and natural disasters than those without a plan.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.

Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.

Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
