He does a little of that in middle school, but it isn't consistant. I think I will ask about learning to usethe office machines in the school, because that one could be don't at least several times a week. Wehave a friend at our public library and I bet I could get her to give a volunteer job once a weekdoing something there for a little bit of time when his Comm and Home Based Waiver caregive has him.His teacher did get approval for her class to run a school supply store and it should be ready by Thanksgiving. I am hoping that goes well. Thanks for the help and ideas. To: Texas-Autism-Advocacy From: txua@...Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 23:18:40 -0500Subject: RE: Job skills taught in high school?

Our son has been taught to run every office machine in the school, run errands, make grocery lists, go to the store & pay out, work in the library (check out & reshelf books along with helping the younger kids find books and reading to them), budget for and Christmas shop, etc. They also do fund raisers like making popcorn gloves and selling them for Halloween. This is all the behavior re-director’s room. Tonya To: cosep ; texas-autism-advocacy ; taca-usa Sent: Thursday, November 3, 2011 7:12 PMSubject: Job skills taught in high school? What kind of job skills is anyone's child learning in high school in a Community Based Instructionclass setting? I know different states call that type of class by different names. Just curious becausewhen I asked at my child's meeting yesterday what our school district offered for job training skillsI was told the only option was that they took the students to a local church to fold church bulletinsand maybe staple some papers. Surely, this can't be acceptable to meet sped requirements.
