Essential skills or Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) are arguably the most crucial skills for our learners to gain and maintain. Essential skills are those that people do every day without assistance. Take a look at your own morning routine and think of all those tiny behavior chains you engage in before you even leave the house (e.g. wake up, get dressed, make coffee, make a meal, brush teeth). For many of our learners, these are skills that need to be specifically taught and adapted for the learner’s individualized skill level. This talk will address different types of essentials skills and review the 7 steps of how to effectively teach them.
