Adaptive skills: Adaptive functioning comes in three different areas, such as conceptual functioning, social functioning, and practical functioning.
Assist the student at school with communicating with others; taking care of personal needs; health and safety; and educational needs such as basic math, reading, and writing.
Communicate with parents regarding the students' adaptive skills and the importance of also assisting at home. This includes activities such as boiling an egg or finding a friend's house.
