What is in this pack, and who is it for?

A full holiday table-setting page, a kitchen help rotation card with four jobs, and a six-step serving sequence with a real photo on every step, plus a self-check, a comprehension check, a data sheet and IEP goals. It is written for teens and young adults from about 13 to 21 in special education, life skills and transition programs, and for families hosting the meal at home.

How does it teach the routine?

In three levels that fade the support. The student starts by matching the setting pieces and pointing to each serving step, then sets the table and orders the serving cards with help, then runs the whole thing at a real meal while you take data. Send the pages home so a real holiday table makes the practice count.

Is this framed as serving other people?

No. It is framed as helping host a shared meal, which is the dignity framing. Setting a table, taking a fair portion and waiting for others are the same skills a restaurant, a shared apartment and any gathering ask for later, so the routine transfers well beyond the holiday.

Do the photos show faces or readable text?

No. Every photo is a real photograph shown as a point of view, hands, or an object still life, with no faces and no readable text, so the pages stay dignified and print cleanly without a name or a word to correct.

What formats do I get, and how is it delivered?

Print-ready PDFs in US Letter and A4. Delivery is instant: the download unlocks the moment Stripe checkout completes, a copy of the link is emailed to you, and the files stay in your My Resources library behind a magic link. The pack is licensed for personal and single-classroom use by the purchaser.
