Young adults with developmental disabilities, such as autism, Down syndrome, and severe language-learning
disabilities have a better chance at an independent life when they have effective communication skills. That’s why
it’s imperative to teach these students to understand and communicate about daily living.
The lessons work through a series of receptive and expressive language tasks to tap all learning modalities:
Pictures provide important visual cues for the tasks.
The flexible format allows you to start with the items at the level that's best for your students or choose the theme
that fits what is happening in your student's life.
Students work through a well-organized structure of tasks in each lesson:
Point to the correct picture in response to your question
Show me the soap.
What do you dry off with ?
Complete matching, listening, and visual memory tasks with the picture cards provided for each lesson
Imitate words and sentences and complete simple sentences
I see a washcloth.
I use a ____.
Name, describe, and answer questions about each item
Describe how you shave .
Name six grooming items .
Answer critical thinking and problem solving questions related to real-life situations
Why do you wash your hands before eating ?

Lesson themes include 86 topics such as:

Words are power. Your older students with developmental disabilities need to understand the words they interact
with in daily life if they are to achieve greater independence.
Functional Vocabulary for Adolescents & Adults provides the right mix of visual and auditory tasks with structured
lessons to teach the words your students and clients need to know to negotiate life.
