Chores at home. Successfully contributing to household through completion of multi step chores has a proven positive impact on future employment.

Activity Information

Begin with a chore or task that the student already does and make it a regular/daily task.
When the student is able to indiependently do that task expand the task or add a similar simple task so they have two small tasks to complete.
Add a chart for student to check off the task each day as they complete it.
Continue to add tasks according to the student’s stamina and ability. For some students that may be one task or it may expand to 5+.

The school follows the same structure as being used at home. The tasks would be called ‘work’ at school not chores.
The student begins with one – determining regularity, consistency, success in completion.
The tasks may be part of a day, again considering the ability and skills of the student.
Track all work tasks to demonstrate completion.
It is important to use the data for use in writing the resume for work applications.
Important to begin with small work tasks and build stamina.
