Stepping Out is a community-based instructional program for students to achieve independence outside of school
Product Features:
This comprehensive community-based instruction (CBI) curriculum includes a task analysis for 18 community outings including grocery shopping, eating at restaurants, using the bank, and going to the movie theatre.
The included My Steps Workbook allows participants to practice prerequisite skills in the classroom before venturing out into the community. The worksheets can be easily photocopied or printed from the USB flash drive. Many of the worksheets in the Workbook include an enhanced version that can be used with the GoWorksheet Maker iPad App.
When participants are ready to step out into the community, Stepping Out’s innovative cue system provides visual support for using money, budgeting, transportation, and more! Twenty laminated cues are provided.
The StepPad and the Stepping Out with the StepPad overlays serve as additional support tools. The StepPad is a powerful, yet easy-to-use device for people who have difficulty completing multi-step tasks independently. Directions that you record are played back in sequence, one step at a time, to prompt the user on what to do next. The accompanying overlays with scripts contain an activity sequence for each outing.
The Facilitator’s Guide provides scripted lessons for teaching prerequisite skills for outings, the integration of cues, and a task analysis for each of the 18 outings. Evidence-based strategies like model-lead-test and the system of least prompts are used throughout the curriculum. Teaching procedures and sample role plays are also embedded in the teaching scripts. In addition, outing checklists/data sheets are provided to assist in monitoring progress and promoting independence.
