Record Keeping from Susan Traugh's Daily Living Skills is a life skills workbook to help students with special needs understand how to organize the paperwork of adulthood including irreplaceable documents, bills and notices, medical paperwork, tax-deductible receipts, and more in accordance with federal mandates for transition services and adult living education.
Record Keeping 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.
