Episode 215: How and Why of Life Skills Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

Life skills to me are more than vocational skills and what we teach in high school and transition. Life Skills are things that we want to really start early on because these are the important behaviors that we need to be independent and to be successful later in life.

Our team is hard at work creating the latest subject of our Leveled Daily Curriculum - Life Skills! It will be focused on teaching essential life skills related to the home and community while utilizing all real photos. Overall themes will include transportation, shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, mechanics & repair, technology, eating out, & more! Plus, differentiated visual tools will be included to aid with instruction. Sign up for the waitlist here: https://shop.theautismhelper.com/pages/life-skills-curriculum-waitlist
