Life Skills Workbook for Children with Autism and Special Needs

his book is a resource for parents to help and guide their Special Needs Child to develop essential skills to increase independence at home, at school, and in the community.

By introducing these skills early and building them block by block, your child will gain the tools that will help them to be successful. Of course, each child with Special Needs has a different measure of success. For some, putting on clothing, remembering to eat, or simply being able to navigate daily tasks will be the goal. For others, it will be remembering to get to class, or performing simple tasks at home or school.

It makes a huge difference to your child when these skills begin at your home at a very young age and then it is learned over time and developed further throughout adolescence and adulthood.

Life skills are daily living skills that include self-care activities, health, safety, advocacy, social relationships, and empowering habits. Learning these wide ranges of life skills is critical. But then every child with autism is different, so the pace your child will learn will vary from person to person.

But teaching these life skills to the best of your child's ability at a young age will make a difference as they get older.

This workbook has strategies and ideas to

• Help your children in the ages 4- 12 get started and provide tools to support continued learning through the transition from school to adult life
