Independent Living Life Skills Checklist (Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center, PEATC)

Description:

Learning and practicing life skills is an important part of preparing students with disabilities for adulthood. The Independent Living Life Skills Checklist is a helpful tool for students ages 14-22, their families, and the IEP team to track progress in areas like independent living and daily activities. While the checklist doesn’t cover every skill, it can guide you in focusing on the most important areas for your child’s development. Remember, each person is unique, and the support they need will vary, so it's important to tailor the checklist to fit your child’s specific strengths and needs.

Note: After opening the Independent Living Life Skills Checklist, before using the checklist, be sure to download the file to your computer by clicking the down arrow icon at the top right of your screen.
