Like all Daily Living Skills workbooks, this series is written on a high third/low fourth grade level and targeted to the mild-to-moderate population (although, you’ll see in the ratings, many teachers of students with moderate-to-severe disabilities have used the program successfully.) All vocabulary is defined immediately in context so students build confidence in the information. Pages are light and airy with lots of bullet-points and pictures, and are set with a tone that is friendly, yet respects the sensibilities of this age group. Every book contains an answer key and Parent Letter explaining what transition skills you are addressing along with suggestions for parent follow-up at home in compliance with federal mandates.

Bundle packs save you another 10% over our already economical prices.

Lessons can easily be used in a “buy today/use today” fashion with no training and little preparation. Or, if you are a newer teacher or new to special education, the DAILY LIVING SKILLS TEACHERS MANUAL gives information on classroom organization and set-up along with Indicator 13 support and a variety of written ITP goals for each workbook.

If you are unfamiliar with this series, download the free “Doing Laundry” workbook offered on this site to see the format and tone used in all the books in this series. You may also check out the preview pages for each individual title also offered on this site. Please note: the price for this bundle pack includes the “free” Doing Laundry book also offered at no charge.
