It is helpful for assistants to have a package of materials and strategies ready to use. The following kits have been developed to illustrate the concept of practicing skills within functional and fun jobs and clubs. They include the following:

• Sample skills, which can be practiced within the activity
• Conversational comments, which can be programmed on a Step-By-Step Communicator, or similar voice output device
• A list of possible equipment and materials to create this kit
• Photo of the activity set up for use
• Photo of the kit in a zippered bag for storage
• Photo (where available) of a student demonstrating the activity
• Directions to program a Step-By-Step Communicator to operate as a voice output device as well as an access switch for the AbleNet Powerlink
• Sample picture communication activity board
• Sample modifications for the academic subject areas

We invite you to create your own clubs, jobs and kits and share them with us...
