#Teamwork really does make the dream work! It was great to see Cade and Jason getting stuck in and helping to prepare the salad to go with everyone's lunch on their latest visit to @tcvhollybush.bsky.social. Nice work, guys! 👏👏👏 #ActuallyAutistic #Inclusion #Helpful

A yellow chopping board on the table holds sliced tomatoes, vegetable peelings and a small knife. One person is cutting tomatoes while the other provides guidance with a hand placed nearby. On the table are a green sand timer and a tablet device. The room contains a radiator, a whiteboard and colourful artwork in the background. The scene shows a supported food preparation session in a classroom or activity setting.
