Happy Place Cooking Space currently offers programming for adults and children with special needs and intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). For these classes, we work in partnership with several amazing organizations to support the unique needs of the participants. These classes are designed with accessibility in front of mind, so that everyone who wants a chance to participate can!

Our programming focuses on introducing and practicing, through repetition and with the use of a variety of accessible tools, skills that foster independence in the kitchen. Our goal is for every participant to experience the joy of discovery around new foods, cooking together, and having a positive experience in the kitchen.

For more information on these classes, including having a child or loved one participate, volunteering, or offering this type of programming at your day program or organization, please email us at hello@happyplacecookingspace.org

Happy Place HQ - our new, fully accessible teaching kitchen - will open in late Spring of 2025 in Cedarburg, WI.
