Keeping House Curriculum

Full step-by-step domestic skills program for independant living!

A step-by-step domestic skills program that focuses on common housekeeping activities. The Curriculum includes an instructor's guide and hands-on student resources. The instructor's guide offers training strategies that are easy to follow with clear directions and task analysis. The guide shows how to seamlessly integrate the student resources into your lesson plans. It organizes activities into seven areas by location: General skills, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, laundry, indoor maintenance and outdoor maintenance. Each activity provides objectives, training suggestions, potential problem situations and a task analysis that corresponds to the picture step pages. Difficulty levels of the activities range from easy (emptying wastebaskets) to complex (washing clothes). Includes a well-thought-out record-keeping and goal setting system. Student resources feature a pocket book and 72 laminated routine cards, most with corresponding picture step pages. Routine cards cue the user to the sequence of activities and are displayed in the pocket book. Photocopiable step pages act as illustrated task analysis used to teach an activity, like sweeping the floor. Includes a 135 page instructor's guide with reproducible record-keeping system, 72 full-color laminated routine cards with storage box, one pocket book and 55 step pages.

Play Tip PLAY Tip

Playing Choo Choo with Double Decker Dominoes!

If your child with special needs is between the cognitive ages of 18 months and four years, try making "Choo-Choo trains" with the Double Decker Dominoes. Place all dominoes face up near to the child. Start the train with one block, call it the "engine." Match another block to the back pattern of the engine block. Together, you can take turns matching the correct shape to the back of the train. When the train is long enough, let the child push the train off of the table into a basket. A great way to develop sensory processing skills!
