job and life skill applications. These pamphlets make up the core curriculum for all
learning. You may supplement additional materials as desired, and the Instructor’s Manual
provides additional information on each topic. Use your professional judgment to set the
program to the needs of the client’s self-sufficiency plan. If your client needs more time or
something in their weekly time allotment has changed, you can expand and contract the
amount of time you take, as long as you cover the material.

The time it will take to complete different pamphlets will vary based on the needs and skills
of the individual. It is estimated that each pamphlet will take approximately 45 minutes to
complete. The Instructor’s Guide provides two-hour training guidelines for each pamphlet.
Individuals with special needs may require significantly more time to complete the reading,
discussion, and activities involved in each pamphlet.
