Project READDY: Real Employment Alternatives for Developmentally Disabled Youth. Job Training Manual.
Berkell, Dianne E.; And Others
The manual is intended to provide special educators, adult service providers, and parents with strategies for providing community based job training to youth with autism and other developmental disabilities. Section I deals with a variety of work sites appropriate for training young people with severe developmental disabilities. Information pertaining to the ecology of the work place and the types of jobs to be performed at each site is presented. Analyses of different job skills are provided to help vocational trainers incorporate effective assessment and instructional strategies into their programs. Types of sites include the following: dry cleaners, florist, hotel, laundromat, library, lumber yard, mobile work crew, movie theater, post office, restaurant, supermarket, and warehouse. Section II provides analyses of generic tasks which may be performed at more than one work site and include bathroom maintenance, general maintenance, and grounds maintenance. Recordkeeping forms used by Project READDY are also provided. (DB)
