Every kid with autism needs this book
I wish this was taught everywhere. I homeschool, and I used this book to teach my son about life. I love the format and the ease of use.

Useful For My Adult With Brain Injury
My daughter suffered a brain injury that took most of her skills, including reading, writing. When the time came when we were fortunate enough to be able to begin teaching her, with each step forward came a new challenge for us…those who were teaching her! We were lucky to find many, many resources online. Then we took to being able to purchase these instruction books on Amazon. The set of activity books are really wonderful. These are written with children in mind, but, we found them to be considerably helpful in our situation. I do hope that others, with teens or adults that may benefit from this series, does not dismiss them because it states for children with special needs. Many may benefit, as well.

Easy to follow instructions for clients
This is a great book even for older special needs teens and adults depending on their learning abilities and where they are individually. The one complaint I have it it is hard to photo copy the pages nicely due to the binding. It would lay much nicer as a spiral bound book.

Nice book.
This is a great book for teaching life skills. We are using it for our homeschooled child with intellectual delays. I do feel like some of the reading and comprehension is too difficult for her to understand since her IQ is so low. We have had to modify some of the content. The book covers areas that you might not think about otherwise and it keeps us on track while providing our child with a quality education. i would recommend the Social Training work book as well, by the same author.

Eh…
This would be a great book for people who are working with CHILDREN who have developmental disabilities. Do not buy if you are looking for something to help you with adults with disabilities. I was forced to buy this book for school and still don’t know why.

AWESOME!
This book is divided down into easy to understand sections. Each lesson runs on average of 20 to 30 minutes at the most. It is very easy to use and user friendly. I am beyond glad I bought this because the other life skill book I’d purchased was more about what life skills are and not teaching life skills. I suggest that every school system puchase this book because there will be absolutely no confussion for the students.

Great Book for Autism parents.
Great book. We got it to teach our 14 year old daughter with autism. It has lots of safety scenarios I wouldnât have thought of. Definitely would recommend.

Amazon Customer –
The book itself is very good but refers to the American currency etc so I adapted it to UK.

As a special Education teacher, I’m always looking for good resources that can be used effectively with some of our kids. This book has many different activities that are very useful when you are designing a life skills program for a special needs student.
Amazon Customer Leanne –
This book had some good ideas for teaching children with special needs. I do wish the pictures were a bit more realistic. They are more of a stick figure/cartoon style which is harder for sme kids with special needs to identify with. Although it was on back order it still came within a couple of weeks.
