Life Skills Gr 6-8

Life Skills is a special education elective course considered and decided upon by an IEP team that prepares students who access the adapted curriculum to develop independence at home and in the community. Students will develop and enhance communication skills, self-advocacy skills, organizational/study techniques, and social skills. Students will learn to manage their personal care needs and household responsibilities, i.e., create to-do lists, prepare nutritious meals, and care for laundry. Students will participate in the development of individual transition plans and explore skills needed for employment/post-secondary education while learning to be contributing members of their community.
