Quick and Easy Expanded Core Curriculum is designed for transition students who are visually impaired. The included lessons were chosen to address the most common gaps found within this population and require little time, expertise, or equipment to implement by the educational team and family members. The lessons, categorized by setting, category, needed items, and ECC area addressed, are intentionally designed to be completed in 5-15 minutes. They are not designed to replace a comprehensive program addressing the ECC. This app version is a new format of the current product, made for convenience and portability. Example ECC lessons target the following skills: * Planning a menu * Practicing conversation * Giving and receiving compliments * Labeling cans and frozen foods * Making purchases based on a budget * Expanding career knowledge * Tracking medical history * Spreading condiments * Reading nutrition labels * Properly using smartphones * Learning customer service techniques
