With teachers moving to distance teaching and communities coming out of lockdown, Masks and Social Distancing from Susan Traugh's Daily Living Skills is the tool you need to help students organize their lives as they emerge from their homes.

Masks and Social Distancing 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. It is a stand-alone unit providing students with skills to live independently by being able to come out of stay-at-home orders safely through good hygiene, the wearing of masks, and the practice of social distancing in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Like the other books in this series, it 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. Carefully researched information on the virus and behavior during lockdown are provided in a calm, reassuring manner.

Written on about the 3rd/4th grade level, workbooks are meant to be self-paced and adaptable with student interests and goals driving most units. 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.
