Wayne State's College of Education (COE) is reaching out to persons with disabilities through a curriculum designed to provide life skills education through simulation. In collaboration with the Jewish Friendship Circle, Margaret Posch, COE associate professor, has written a simulation curriculum called 'Simucations for Life,' specifically geared to the Ferber Kaufman Life Town at the Meer Family Center in Bloomfield Hills. "As we developed the 'Simucations for Life' curriculum, our goal was to offer a hands-on and engaging venue that reached out to a diverse group of young people and others with special needs," Posch said. Paula Wood, COE dean, said the collaborative project offers a two-fold benefit by providing much needed services to persons with disabilities and curriculum trainings to the volunteers at Life Town. "We are implementing a program at Life Town that introduces life skills education to persons with disabilities while establishing a curriculum model for school districts, community agencies, businesses and employment training centers," Wood said.
