Goal Setting - 2 Workbooks - Daily Living Skills

Goal Setting is from Susan Traugh’s Daily Living Skills series offering life skills and transitional skills for mild-to-moderately affected special needs students and general education students alike. Goal Setting provides adult living skills for special needs teens to meet transition mandates. It is a stand-alone unit providing students with skills to understand how to make SMART goals and create a system to help them attain those goals, This workbook serves as both a traditional print version and an interactive version using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Like the other books in this series, it contains airy pages and bullet-point information for easy, independent study, yet, these books, nevertheless, respect teens’ maturity and humor while presenting federally mandated, Indicator 13 skills and transition skills needed for adult independence.
