Special education classroom materials?

Question

I am working on a project for one of my spec. ed. classes. I have $1000 to spend on a high school aged life skills classroom. I need to good websites. Thanks!

Answer 1

A list of items/areas that would be good for this class are

kitchen area- oven/stove, refrigerator, table, silverware, dishes, etc

bedroom/living area- mattress, sheets couch, vacuum, etc

I'd also recommend the EdMark reading program for teaching this level of students how to read using functional words- grocery words, safety words, etc You can probably find it cheaper by googling it

Here are some web sites that I would recommend for educational products at the life skills level

www.lakeshorelearning.com

www.enablingdevices.com

And this is a link for a great book for life skills activities

Enjoy your project. I'd love to have that kind of a budget for my real classroom!
