Draft a weekly routine for life after school

When to use this goal

For students 18 to 21 nearing exit whose week will no longer be set by a school schedule. Present levels in time concepts and planning decide whether the routine is built with times, pictures or both.

Baseline
Score a first draft. Many students plan only work and leave the rest empty; the empty rows show where community and leisure options need to be explored.
Tips
Use real options available to the student after exit. Share the routine with the family and adult service providers. Daily choice-making inside the program is in tn-sd-044.
Limits
A planned week is not a lived one; try the routine during breaks. Options depend on services and transportation available.
