Students may work simultaneously in more than one area. The activities may or may not be done sequentially; however, in areas that include more than one level, students need to complete Level 1 before moving to Level 2, and so forth.
The skill areas and activities are determined by the student’s support team, preferably at an IEP meeting. In each skill area the student must complete 7 of the 10 activities. Space is provided for two additional activities to ensure flexibility and enable the team to develop activities tailored to the individual student. Building Life Skill Portfolios may be used as the basis of the student’s curriculum or it may enhance the curriculum already in place. Working with a coach, the student is encouraged to participate as independently as possible.
