Using Community Resources Bundle Pack from Susan Traugh's Daily Living Skills is a timely set of life skills/transition skills workbooks to help students understand how to use the various community resources available in most towns and counties. This workbook serves as both a traditional print version and an interactive version using Adobe Acrobat Reader. It meets federal guidelines requiring schools to introduce students to resources available in their community post high school and provides instruction in adult living skills and transitional skills for both mild-to-moderately affected special needs students and general education students alike and provides adult living skills for special needs teens to meet federal transition mandates, Indicator 13 requirements, and SCAN recommendations.

 

Books included in this bundle pack include: Using the Library, Community Resources, Enjoying Recreation and Independence Basics.

 

Like the other books in this series, these books contains airy-pages and bullet-point information for easy, independent study, yet, these books, nevertheless, respect teens’ maturity and humor while presenting federally mandated Indicator 13 skills and transition skills needed for adult independence. Each lesson is taught in a short one-to-four page format with follow-up worksheets/activities to check comprehension. Real world activities are provided whenever possible.

 

A preview for Enjoying Recreation is included here so that you might see the format and tone of all the books. You can preview the other titles by checking the individual books each located on this site. The content of each book is as follows:
