Teaching food and health to students with visual impairments requires specific adaptations to ensure a safe and effective learning experience. Here are three important pedagogical implications.

• Safety : The use of tactile markers, contrasting colors, and good lighting are essential to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries in the kitchen.
• Adaptation of teaching materials: Recipes and instructions should be available in alternative formats such as Braille, large print, and audio recordings, and detailed verbal instructions must be provided to compensate for missing visual information.
• Haptic learning: Involving touch and feeling is important to help students understand textures and shapes, and thus perform cooking activities safely.
