Chapter 3. Life Skills Guidebook Learning Goals and Expectations by DomainResources Referenced in the Life Skills GuidebookThe resources included in the Guidebook were selected because they address multiple Learning Goal (competency) areas and reach awide range of developmental levels. They are divided into core (cited most frequently and most heavily used in the Guidebook),recommended (add value, but don’t cover as much), and additional (worthy resources, very specific, but not necessary for Guidebookinstruction).Some resources cover the entire age span (e.g., Ready, Set, Fly!) while others are specific to an age range (e.g., Life Skills Activitiesfor Special Children, ages 8-12). Consider the age and developmental level of the learners using these resources, their assessmentscores, and program goals when purchasing. Casey recommends that the core resources all be selected, if age appropriate to yourprogram. The recommended resources can be purchased based on the needs of your program or learning plan.
