Description

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.
