Life, My Way

An individualized curriculum connecting personal goals with practical knowledge and skills

Life, My Way is a comprehensive curriculum infrastructure designed to support individuals with disabilities from adolescence through adulthood.

It connects education, assessment, and practical skill development so that learning can continue across schools, families, community settings, and adult services. Rather than rebuilding instruction each time a person enters a new setting, Life, My Way provides a consistent structure that can be individualized according to learning, communication, and support needs.

Individualized does not mean less

People should not receive less information because they communicate, learn, or process information differently.

Life, My Way adapts how education is designed and delivered. Language, pacing, examples, visuals, practice opportunities, and support can be individualized without reducing the importance or relevance of what is taught.

The purpose is to make information understandable and usable.

Practical Knowledge and Skills

Instruction is connected to meaningful participation in everyday life. Educational areas include:

Daily living

Self advocacy

Community safety

Relationship development

Decision making

Self determination

Independence

Community participation

The purpose is not simply to complete lessons. The purpose is to help learners develop knowledge and skills that can be understood, practiced, and applied across environments.

A Comprehensive Instructional System

Life, My Way includes:

More than 400 structured lessons

More than 3,500 instructional materials

Four core educational domains

Visual supports and task analyses

Implementation guides

Structured instructional supports

Individualized Within a Consistent Structure

Individualized education does not require every educator, caregiver, or service provider to create instruction from the beginning.

Life, My Way provides a consistent educational structure while allowing language, pacing, examples, materials, practice opportunities, and support to be adapted for the individual.

This balance gives learners individualized instruction while giving educators and support teams clearer guidance.
