Stepping Out Curriculum
Community-based instruction

Newly updated Stepping Out takes instruction out of the classroom and into the community. Students learn a balanced blend of skills—from shopping to banking to doing laundry—on planned, supervised outings. The curriculum sets lesson plans for 19 standard outings, plus additional personalized activities. A unique collection of 23 Stepping Out Cues help students perform activities without requiring prerequisite academic skills. The cues can be long-term adaptations or faded as skills develop. Dozens of structured classroom activities prepare students for community experiences. Assessments and parent involvement forms help advance community-based instruction goals in the IEP. Print out extra cues and supplemental material from the CD-ROM. Spiralbound book, 285 pgs., includes a Win/Mac CD with printable PDF of cues plus supplemental materials, 2004. Two sets of Stepping Out Cues.
