The focus of Life Skills is to prepare students who access the adapted curriculum to participate in the community and grow independence. Students will develop and enhance communication skills, organizational/study techniques, and social intervention skills. Students learn to care for their personal needs, clothing, the household, and to prepare nutritious meals. The students will participate in the development of a transition plan and explore skills needed for employment/post-secondary education as well as for learning and self-advocacy. This course builds student independence and prepares them for post-secondary life.
Any student who is receiving special education services and whose Individualized Education Program (IEP) indicates the appropriateness of the Life Skills course offering.
