Each curriculum topic was developed from an actual person centered individual service plan, and includes a performance objective, list of materials, and suggestions for instruction. The curriculum is a tool for staff to use to engage adults with developmental disabilities in a conversation of over 200 daily living skills topics. And please include all clients in the conversations - even non-verbal folks and those people that some consider "too low functioning" to "get it." Let's let the clients show us whether or not they "get it." Topics can be presented in your facility or out in the community where the skills will actually be used.

The SNAP curriculum is also an excellent staff training tool as it gives new staff an idea of the types of issues facing adults with developmental disabilities, and provides suggestions of ways to help your clients overcome their barriers. This ensures that staff have not omitted a particular step in skills training and that the client receives reasonably sized pieces of information. Instruction is not meant to be overwhelming.
