Questions from teachers

Who is this microwave recipes pack for?
Teachers of teens and older students in autism, life skills, and transition programs. The photos and layout are made to look age-appropriate for secondary students, not like a picture book for little kids, while still keeping one clear action per step.
How does the pack handle microwave safety?
Safety is built in. The pack opens with a microwave safety basics page covering no metal, hot bowls and plates, steam, and letting food cool, and every recipe carries its own heat and safety note. Steps that use the microwave are marked, and a few recipes prompt an adult check for cutting or draining. Always review each student's dietary plan and supervise appliance use.
How do the three levels work?
Level 1 has the student match ingredient cards to the recipe mat, Level 2 has them cut and order the step-sequencing cards, and Level 3 has them follow the full-page recipe on their own while you take data. One purchase stretches across your whole caseload.
What formats do I get?
A single print-ready PDF in US Letter with all ten recipes, the microwave safety basics page, the sequencing cards, the teacher guide, and the data sheet. Print at 100 percent, and print the sequencing pages single-sided before you cut.
Is this nutrition advice, and are purchases refundable?
It is a classroom teaching resource, not medical or nutrition advice; always follow each student's dietary plan and allergy list. Because it is an instant digital download, all sales are final; if a file will not open, email info@spectrumunlocked.com and Spectrum Unlocked will make it right.
