Doing Laundry - Daily Living Skills

Free

Doing the Laundry from Susan Traugh's Daily Living Skills workbooks helps students with special needs understand the life skill of how to sort, spot, wash, dry, and organize laundry in compliance with federal transition skills mandates.

Doing the Laundry provides instruction in adult living skills and transitional skills for both mild-to-moderately affected special needs students and general education students alike and provides adult living skills for special needs teens to meet federal transition mandates, Indicator 13 requirements, and SCAN recommendations.

It is a stand-alone unit providing students with skills to live independently by providing them the background and knowledge to understand how to use the library and how to access other community resources through library services.

Like the other books in this series, it contains airy pages and bullet-point information for easy, independent study, yet these books, nevertheless, respect teens’ maturity and humor while presenting federally mandated Indicator 13 skills and transition skills needed for adult independence. Each lesson is taught in a short one-to-four page format with follow-up worksheets/activities to check comprehension. Real-world activities are provided whenever possible.

Additionally, this book provides a student grading sheet, answer key, and a Parent Letter suggesting at-home activities for families in accordance with federal mandates for parent involvement.

Most importantly, Susan is the mother of three amazing adult children with special needs. Her son suffered a TBI as a toddler and spent his school years in different special education settings. Today, he is working as a behavioral specialist at a facility for the most impacted kids. Her oldest daughter is on the autism spectrum and is faced with myriad physical challenges as well; she is currently working as a store clerk at Lakeshore Learning Store. Susan's youngest suffers from severe mental health issues, but has graduated summa cum laude with her BSW, is currently in an MSW program, speaks for NAMI on stopping the stigma of mental illness, and is planning to work with teenagers with mental health and substance abuse disorders.  Early in her children's lives, Susan quit teaching to ensure that they reached their full potential. It was here that she realized the need for an appropriate curriculum for transition and life skills.
