The Project LIVE curriculum series is intended to facilitate the transition for handicapped learners from school to community. Distinctive curricular features include the: (a) focus on Life Enhancement Skills as content-domains; (b) utilization of multiple teaching strategies as the crux of the instructional design; and (c) simulation of life-events through interactive video technology. The series is constructed to reinforce the amount of teacher guidance and curricular flexibility that are necessary to meet the diverse needs of exceptional students.
