Description: This bundle focuses on real-world communication and life skills for older students, including high school, college-age, and young adults. The activities target situations that many students will encounter as they move toward greater independence, such as dating, job interviews, resumes, and self-advocacy.

Topics in this bundle include: • Job interviews (professional responses, what went wrong scenarios, and preparation strategies) • Resume basics and understanding what information to include • Workplace communication and professionalism • Self-advocacy and communicating needs respectfully • Dating and relationship communication • Setting boundaries and recognizing respectful interactions • Social problem-solving and perspective taking These activities are ideal for Speech-Language Pathologists, special educators, transition programs, and life skills classrooms working with teens and young adults. The scenarios are designed to feel age-appropriate, relatable, and practical, helping students build skills they can apply in real-life situations.
