Coming January 2023…
IATP’s expansion and new location brings a brand-new accessible Kitchen Program that will offer free cooking classes to Illinois residents with any disability. Our new facility features a home style kitchen that showcases accessibility and technology tools that make cooking possible, easier, and safer. Initially the program will focus on serving those who receive services from one of the major bureaus of the Illinois Division of Rehabilitation Services. However, if you need help, please contact us for more information. No matter the type of disability, we can help someone learn or improve their cooking skills and try different technologies to make things easier.
