Life Skills Mastery for Students with Special Needs. ERIC Digest #E469. ERIC Identifier: ED321502 Publication Date: 1990-00-00 Author: Goodship, Joan M. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children Reston VA. What is the Importance of Life Skills? What are Life Skills? Life skills include a wide range of knowledge and skill interactions believed to be essential for adult independent living (Brolin, 1989). At present, many students with handicaps have special needs that are not being met. These students require education and support to learn these necessary behaviors. They must be able to dress and groom properly, use appropriate table manners, make decisions about money, and use transportation to get to work. The three major skill areas that need to be addressed are daily living, personal/social, and occupational skills. What are Daily Living Skills? Many students with disabilities will marry and raise families. The majority will probably earn modest salaries; therefore, it is crucial that they learn how to manage a home, family, and finances as effectively as possible. Some states require that these skills be taught to students with special needs. Instructional responsibility lies with special educators, regular educators, parents, and peers. The following skills are some that have been identified as essential for independent adult living (Brolin, 1989):
