Within this book we get to grips with the teaching and learning of age appropriate independent living skills for those with a visual impairment. Information will enable you to plan, organise and deliver programmes for children and young people at home. You will cover for example,
- Kitchen skills
- Safety in the home
- Strategies to manage meal times
- Laundry skills to include ironing
- Cleaning the home
- Budgeting, using money and shopping
Don’t wait, dive in. These are skills we all need in order to live an independent life after full time education and/or training or whilst at university.
THEY WANT HIM TO GO OUT; IF ONLY SHE COULD along with THE WOLVERHAMPTON COOK BOOK, other books in the series, will deliver even more when building towards independence.
