Life Skills for Students with Mental Retardation
(updated April 2000)
How can we teach life skills to students with mental retardation?
A primary purpose of special education is to help students with disabilities lead successful and
personally fulfilling lives now and in the future. Curriculum for students with mental retardation
should be designed to prepare students to function as independently as possible in an integrated
society. This curriculum should include a broad range of skills and be chronologically
age-appropriate and useful to the learner. such a curriculum fosters the development of skills that
increase autonomy, encourages constructive codependence, and nurtures problem solving in the
home, school, community, and workplace. (From A Functional Curriculum for
Teaching Students with Disabilities. Bender, Valletutti, and Baglin, PRO-ED Publisher.)

This guide presents strategies for increasing choice opportunities for people with moderate to
severe developmental disabilities. Because choice opportunities are easily overlooked, these
strategies are intended to provide a systematic way to ensure that simple, but important, daily
choices are made available. The guide describes basic principles of choice-making, explains
how to teach choice-making skills to the passive learner, describes how to build in multiple
choice-making opportunities within daily routines, introduces self-scheduling as a method for
helping people plan their day, and addresses common questions and concerns about
choice-making.

This first of three manuals providing a curriculum for students with disabilities focuses on the
development of functional daily living skills. An introductory chapter provides an overview of
the functional curriculum and offers guidelines for developing instructional plans for the four
units of study which follow. Unit 1 is about self-care skills, including toileting, drinking and
eating, dressing, undressing, personal cleanliness, and grooming. Unit 2 offers suggested
interventions for gross motor skills including the use of assistive devices to aid ambulation,
walking independently, and skills that enhance recreation and leisure activities. Unit 3 addresses
fine motor skills including those involved in dressing, leisure time activities, vocational/work
activities, and the operation of simple appliances. Unit 4 considers household management and
living skills, such as planning meals, purchasing and preparing food, purchasing and
maintaining clothes, and caring for one's living quarters. Each of the units presents general
goals of the unit, sample lesson plans, lists of references and suggested readings, and a list of
selected materials and resources. Suggested activities are grouped into teacher interventions and
family interventions and then organized into four distinct age/grade levels:
infant/toddler/preschool; primary; intermediate; and secondary. Attention is also paid to the
alternative settings in which services are provided.

This text addresses curriculum development for students with mental retardation based on the
premise that it is the primary job of educators to teach these individuals independence skills and
also based on criticism of the academic focus of most current instructional approaches.
Individual chapters consider the following topics: (1) an overview of mental retardation; (2) the
aim of instruction (including an instructional definition of mental retardation and the aim of
independence for persons with mental retardation); (3) the concepts of curriculum and
curriculum goals (including 10 principles and goals addressing curriculum structure, content,
and functions); (4) formulation of the instructional aim and curriculum goals (offering a
four-step procedure for selecting and formulating goals); (5) curriculum development (with a
five-step procedure suggested); (6) planning an assessment of curriculum objectives (with
principles of assessment and a five-step procedure for planning an assessment); (7) conducting
an assessment and developing an individualized program of instruction; (8) the program
objective analysis (establishing performance standards and analyzing skill clusters); (9)
providing information (techniques, feedback, fading, and motivation); (10) monitoring
instructional plans (a three-step plan for developing a monitoring system); and (11) modifying
instruction (appropriate responses when learners are achieving desired instructional results and
when learners are not progressing satisfactorily). Appendices include a list of terminal goals,
worksheets, and a checklist of potential physical problems.

This scope and sequenced functional curriculum is designed for use in schools and adult
training environments with individuals who have moderate disabilities. The first chapter
explains the curriculum's origins in the original Life Centered Career Education Curriculum and
the research project which determined the need for and modifications necessary to make the
curriculum more appropriate for individuals with moderate disabilities. An extensive chart
correlating competencies and subcompetencies of this curriculum with the original curriculum is
also included. The second chapter, comprising the major portion of the guide, presents
instructional implementation strategies for the three domains of the curriculum: daily living
skills, personal-social skills, and occupational skills. Charts break these domains into 20
competencies as well as subcompetencies and objectives. Classroom training activities and
home/community-based training activities are suggested for each objective. Chapter 3 briefly
addresses assessment and instructional planning strategies and integration of the curriculum into
the Individualized Education Program. Appended are the Competency Rating Scale-Modified
for Life Centered Career Education Modified Curriculum for Individuals with Moderate
Disabilities, master forms for use with the curriculum, a modified Individualized Education
Program form, and related resources.

This document contains the final report, trainer handbook for volunteer tutor trainers, and idea
book for volunteer tutors from a project conducted to develop a supplemental tutor training
program and life skills curriculum specifically for developmentally disabled (DD) adult learners.
The final report describes how a group of DD adult learners were assessed with the BADER
Individual Reading Inventory, and writing samples were collected from them. The assessment
results and data from field observations of classes for DD adults, a survey of available adult
education materials for DD learners, and interviews with tutors were used to develop a
curriculum and tutor training program. Tutors and project staff brainstormed learning strategies
for DD adult students, and the brainstorming session results were compiled into an idea book.
Four training sessions were conducted, and 50 tutor- learner pairs were matched. The trainer
handbook includes the following: training process overview, training agenda, sensitivity
exercises, text and workbook suggestions, support services to assist volunteers, and
miscellaneous forms. Described in the idea book are 49 activities grouped into the following
categories: prereading; reading; writing; speaking and listening; math, measurement, and
money; self-esteem; and life skills.

This curriculum is intended to provide social service agencies, schools, vocational programs,
and other groups concerned with persons having developmental disabilities with guidelines and
practical techniques for developing training and support services that encourage choice-making.
Emphasis is on allowing people with disabilities to take as much responsibility for their own
decision-making as possible, without forcing them into situations where they are unprepared to
cope. The first section looks at the agency's role in such areas as staffing patterns, behavior
management, and development of a policy on choice-making. A section on beginning to teach
choice-making skills considers learned helplessness, a variety of assessment approaches, a case
study, and seven sample lesson plans. The following section provides a step-by-step procedure
for identifying the individual's communication mode, identifying available options, evaluating
options, developing a "plan of action," and evaluating the experience. A choice-making model
worksheet is included. Next, ways to implement the curriculum in residential, vocational, and
school settings are detailed. The final sections examine choice-making in sexuality and
relationships, self-advocacy, and families. Some sections contain references.
