Opis

As a professional educator in Europe and North America, I have encountered numerous students with intellectual disabilities, who were working on outcomes or objectives that were far beyond their reach of understanding. Many of these students were presented skills they probably would not be able to master in a respectful manner due to their limited intellectual capability. In this publication, I present Goals and Objectives that can be used as starting points for making children with intellectual disabilities become well prepared for life after school. These Goals and Objectives focus on 7 areas of development that have been identified as priority areas for assisting students to learn adaptive skills and job readiness skills. - Area of development: Safety - Area of development: Communications - Area of development: Personal Care - Area of development: Developing Independence - Area of development: Functional Reading, Writing and Math - Area of development: Social Competence - Area of development: Work Skills and Job Readiness Most goals comes with suggestions for making them more specific by adding some short-term focus points. These are listed beneath. An Example: Goal: Student will be able to provide personal identifying information with 85% accuracy: - own first name. - own middle name. - own last name."
