Love watching this worker complete what they can on their own and then accept help when needed!! Seeing such an increase in independence in the PAES lab this year is such a treat. @NSSEO @Kirkschool

@ACHSJava Thank you. I’m lucky to work with really smart and seasoned assistants who share excellent ideas and I’ve also been modifying activities to foster independence forever. PAES and Kirk were meant to be:). Please feel free to reach out if you would like to collaborate.

[PAES Lab Kirk Campus @PAESKirk]

Using a modification to complete the job independently. Love watching the workers stay on task for so long!!! #Kirkschool #NSSEO

[PAES Lab Kirk Campus @PAESKirk]

Love this worker and his super impressive sawing “moves”!! Some will spot this is not a regular job. Trying to save some money on lumber by modifying jobs into seasonal art projects that also introduce skills that are usually practiced in later jobs. Will post the results!!

[PAES Lab Kirk Campus @PAESKirk]

Sewing is back…as is sawing that you can hear in the background. PAES lab can be a noisy place!! @kirkschool @NSSEO

[PAES Lab Kirk Campus @PAESKirk]

Off to a great start on a Tuesday morning that feels like a Monday morning…only minutes after a surprise fire drill!! My workers sure can get the job done!!
