Life skills are developed in several settings, including medical and therapeutic and education. Sometimes, skill sets are also developed if a person takes as part in specialized training offered by non-profit agencies.
Where the skills are developed, is dependent on what skills are being taught. Physical skills allow people to move from place to place and are most often cultivated within a physical therapy setting. Others skills, such as self-care, eating, or writing are developed in occupational therapy because they involve fine motor skills.
Most often, a child’s skill set is developed and nurtured at school. All of those tasks that are needed to thrive in society or at home are affected by a child’s transition plan, which is a large component of his or her Individualized Education Plan, or IEP. These services are required by the IDEA law.
A transition plan is designed to address a child’s conventional education, as well as task development and job skills. Transition planning gives educators an opportunity to assess a child to find out what services will best prepare him or her for life after school. The transition plan may be called an Individualized Transition Plan, or ITP. This plan should be implemented by the time a child turns 14 years old.
