Summer: Great Opportunity to Learn New Skills

Today is the start of a new series Life Skills 101.  This series is going to be built on the principle of "let's work smarter rather than harder." What does that mean?  It is what we are constantly asking teachers to do.  We want them to concentrate on mastery of the subject matter rather than mastery of the method.  This seems so easy when we are in a IEP meeting but when it means changing the way something is done at home----well that may be a different story.

We will look at a few basic areas. 

     1.  Clothing

     2.  Food

     3.  Shopping

     4.   Hygiene

     5.  Cleaning

I would love to hear ideas that have worked for you.  Please leave a comment with your thoughts.
