Academic / Life Skills

Academic / Life Skills Curriculum

Our multi-sensory, experience-based curriculum addresses the California state content standards with an emphasis on functional academics adapted to the unique needs and interests of each student.  We draw from a variety of curriculums such as Houghton Mifflin Reading©, TouchMath®, Handwriting Without Tears®, and Kumon® Math among others. Using these curriculums as a resource, we infuse academic content into activities that focus on the developmental needs of our students, which may include communication, social skills, motor sequencing and sensory processing.

Examples of these activities include:
  • Gardening projects that embed science and math lessons
  • A treasure hunt to find spelling words related to students’ special interest 
  • A favorite recipe to feature sequence and measurements
  • Interactive computer-based reading programs using family members as characters
  • Identifying letters, words or numbers within an obstacle course
