[Image Credit: Pixabay.com](Image Credit: Pixabay.com)  \nSupporting Independence in Daily Living Skills  \nAutism at-a-Glance is a series of practitioner and familyfriendly documents created by the Center on Secondary Education for Students with ASD (CSESA) designed for highschool staff members supporting students on the autism spectrum, as well as family members of adolescents with ASD. The purpose of the Autism at-aGlance series is to provide a current summary of topics relevant to high school students with ASD as well as practical tips and resources for school and community personnel and family members.  \nThis Autism at-a-Glance was designed to support highschool staff and family members in promoting independence in daily living skills for adolescents and young adults on the autism spectrum.  \nI  \nndividuals with autism often struggle to successfully perform and complete daily living activities and tasks ranging from taking out the trash to managing money. Recent research  \nsuggests that daily living skills should be a part of plans for individuals with autism, especially adolescents who are transitioning into adulthood (Bal, 2015). Improving daily living skills will allow for more independence, cleanliness, and organization in personal life and spaces.  \nExamples of Daily Living Skills  \nSteve really enjoys cooking. Each time he eats at home, Steve elects to utilize his dishwasher. However, often times he puts dishes in the dishwasher that are not dishwasher safe. He also doesn’t remove food scraps from dishes prior to putting them in the dishwasher. Unfortunately, this has led to multiple maintenance visits for the dishwasher. With application of the steps outlined below, Steve can learn how to independently handle the dishes correctly!  \nHousekeeping/Basic Chores  \nChores such as sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, and taking out the trash all help keep a home tidy and clean. Clothes and dishes are necessities we use on a daily basis. Knowing how to clean dishes and do laundry is an integral part of maintaining a healthy home environment as well.  \nDaily Living Skills  \n[Image Credit: Pixabay.com](Image Credit: Pixabay.com)  \nMeal Preparation  \nBeing able to cook healthy meals is important, but meal preparation is not limited to just that. One should also understand expiration dates and know where to store different food items, like what items belong in the refrigerator versus what items belong in the pantry. Knowing how long leftovers are okay to eat also helps maintain a healthy diet.  \nShopping  \nThis includes purchasing groceries, toiletries, clothes, or even toys/games. We shop for so many different materials and knowing the ins and outs of all the scenarios is an arduous task, but imperative for improving daily living.  \nManaging a Schedule  \nTo succeed in other daily living activities, one may need to maintain an organized plan for each day’stasks. It is important to create and update a list of all prior commitments and activities that need to be completed. Planning ahead also means one must consider and arrange transportation to fit his or her schedule.  \nAreas of Difficulty that Impact Daily Living Skills  \nAngela is very busy. She tries to balance her job with her social and family life. Often she commits to too many activities and does not have time to herself or time for daily living activities. Using the steps that follow, one may be able to help Angela develop a  \nschedule to budget her time better.  \nTime Management  \nKnowing when to do tasks, as well as how much time they will take, is not always obvious. However, this is very important for individuals with autism as itwill help them create schedules or routines they can reference when completing daily tasks.  \nFlexibility  \nSome individuals with autism strictly adhere to schedules and routines, and do not enjoy changes","cbCaibxJR9XwTnpH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibxJR9XwTnpH","pdf",414127,"English","# Supporting Independence in Daily Living Skills\n## Examples of Daily Living Skills\n## Areas of Difficulty that Impact Daily Living Skills\n## Process and Tips for Supporting Daily Living Skills\n## Task Analysis\n## Orientation to the Task","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the Autism at-a-Glance series?\",\"answer\":\"The series provides a current summary of relevant topics for high school students with ASD and practical tips and resources for school and community personnel and families.\"},{\"question\":\"Which daily living skills are highlighted as examples?\",\"answer\":\"Examples include housekeeping/basic chores, meal preparation, shopping, and managing a schedule.\"},{\"question\":\"How can anxiety affect daily living skills in individuals with ASD?\",\"answer\":\"Individuals with ASD often experience high anxiety; evidence cited in the document links reducing anxiety severity through cognitive behavioral therapy with increased daily living skills and reduced caregiver involvement in private routines.\"}]","Autism at-a-Glance - Supporting Independence in Daily Living Skills | PDF",1792043402]
