Oh, no, the kids I am going to work with (from my understanding) are not in need of life skills because they have developmental disorders. They need such because they are lower income families, whose parents or single parent are too busy working to get the opportunity to tech their kids household skills. The program is aimed for kids that typically fall into social circumstances that put them "at risk" for school failures that usually lead to life failures. Lower income kids that are falling behind in subjects, who can hopefully be encouraged by both the one-on-one teaching focus, and the fun field trips where we show them how to apply different subjects to real life circumstances. They hope to do carrier shadowing as well. >One reason that we do games is because it gives them a chance to practice social >skills, and also some functional math skills. >Magi The social skills is a good point, which honestly was last on the list in my head (fun, thinking, math, social).
