Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 The Employment, Training and Transition programs at our schools provide the students with the opportunity to be included in the student body as much as possable. As a peer tutor for the special ed programs we: labeled the school newspapers and sent them out wiped tables and stacked chairs in the commoms prepared things in the commons for lunch emptied the recyling bins washed towels went to the district office and labled books They also prepare the students for a job in the real world, whether it will end up being independently or in a group setting. Subway laundry_ they go to the headquarters, take the towels to laundry mat and deliver them back rolling silverware at local restaurants deliver the community newspaper Our students are paid for the work that they do in certain situations, this gives them the realistic sense that comes with having a job. They also learn to budget the money, plans meals and cook them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 How bout fixing stuff? Do any of them like to " tinker " with things? What about photography. What about asking what the kids like to do? maby they have an interest that they can build on? Life skills can be taught in them doing things they enjoy the most?
