Looking back, she\u2019s one of the reasons why I\u2019ve been so focused on life skills instruction in my work. She moved through the general education system, and even got an accounting associate\u2019s degree, without extra help.</p>\n<p>However, she struggled to generalize her knowledge to everyday situations. In this episode, I want to talk about not only ways to get your students engaged in life skills instruction but also how to vary your teaching so they can generalize their skills for functioning in daily living.</p>\n<p><strong>0:43 </strong>- How my sister got through school and demonstrated a struggle with generalizing knowledge</p>\n<p><strong>4:47</strong> - Keeping students actively engaged while working on reading comprehension life skill activities</p>\n<p><strong>7:22</strong> - An engaging tool for students that doesn\u2019t seem like a reading activity on its surface</p>\n<p><strong>8:45</strong> - One of my favorite ways to work on functional reading <em>and</em> math</p>\n<p><strong>10:14</strong> - A strategy I used in a life skills program for elementary students with severe challenging behaviors</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://specialeducatoracademy.com/\"><u>Join us inside the Special Educators Academy for your 7 day free trial</u></a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Resources</strong></p>\n<p>Grab the transcript, freebie and resource links at<a href=\"http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode75\"><strong> </strong></a><a href=\"http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode111\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode111</strong></a></p>\n<p>Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library...<a href=\"http://library.autismclassroomresources.com/\"> <strong>http://library.autismclassroomresources.com</strong></a></p>\n<p>Want more information about the Special Educator Academy?<a href=\"https://academy.autismclassroomresources.com/sea-join-2?utm_source=anchor&amp;utm_medium=podcast-show-notes&amp;utm_term=power-of-tip&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=membership\"> <strong>SpecialEducatorAcademy.com</strong></a></p>\n<p>Join the Free Facebook Group<a href=\"https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/specialeducatorsconnection.com\"> <strong>specialeducatorsconnection.com</strong></a></p>\n\n--- \n\nSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/autismclassroomresources/message","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/910aafaa-74b1-4ee5-9bf5-0283c58432ed/2037448-1566584485779-9c0b0a007af0e.jpg"}
