Pre-vocational goals and activities.
I have been looking for a checklist or assessment that outlines a good progression of activities to be addressed when it comes to pre-vocational skills. After numerous searches, I have not been able to find any such thing. It seems weird to me that vocational goals must be addressed on IEPs yet there are no good resources for specific goals and activities involving vocational skills when it comes to students with severe disabilities. I have been working with students who have severe disabilities for years and have worked with them on the progression of skills that matched materials I had or could get and that made sense to me. I moved from basic pick up activities, to packaging them, to one to one correspondence, to 2 hand take apart activities, to 2 handed put together activities, to multi-step assembly activities. If anyone has a good source for such goals please let me know. I have been reserching this issue for a co-worker.

I do not know of any personally but I will be sure to ask around and see if I know anyone with any resources.
ReplyDeleteIt's so intimidating reading your posts Deb. Here I am talking about substituting with inclusion classes and how I try to keep focus in my blogs, and then I read yours and you just ruin my party. I don't even know how to comment on your stuff! Just wanted you to know that I read your blogs and that when I grow up I want to be as smart as you!
ReplyDeleteYea, I'm fresh out of ideas when it comes to vocational goals. I do have good teacher friends, though, that work with children with pervasive disabilities. I'll have a word with them.
