Some of you may have heard me say before that I teach clerical skills to adults with some sort of disability (those on the level to be competitively employed are in my dept). Well recently I'm noticing more and more that some people have no 'life skills.' As in they have no clue what it costs to live (I have one person, a single man, who insists he can not live on $30,000/year), budgeting/banking, etc. So I've recently been tasked to create a curriculum for what we call 'Work Adjustment Training,' including some of what I'm calling 'life skills training.'
Since I've been thinking on that I got to thinking about what I didn't know when I moved out of my parent's that I wish I had known. Like how to defrost frozen pipes.
So is there anything you wish you'd known when you moved out? Like anything from cooking, to making simple home repairs, etc? Or something you wished you knew before you made a decision/mistake/etc.? I'm interested to see what all might really be helpful to cover in the training somehow. My defrosting pipe story is definitely something I'm keeping in mind for it!
