Community-based instruction

Take instruction out of the classroom and into the community! Students learn a balanced blend of skills—from shopping to banking to doing laundry—or planed, supervised outings. The Stepping Out Curriculum sets lesson plans for 19 standard outings, plus dozens of related classroom activities. A unique collection of 23 Stepping Out Cues helps students perform community activities without requiring prerequisite academic skills. The cues can be long-term adaptations or faded as skills develop. Assessments and parent involvement forms help advance community-based instruction goals in the IEP. Print out extra cues and supplemental material from the CD.

Covered spiralbound book, 285 pgs., updated in 2007, includes a Win/Mac CD with printable PDF of cues plus supplemental materials, 2005. Two sets of Stepping Out Cues included.
