Planning a Special Event

Working through the steps of planning your own event can be exciting and motivating!

This activity has been revised and was originally created by Charlotte Cushman and published in the Perkins Activity and Resource Guide (1st edition, 1992).  The second edition is available for purchase.

Visually impaired students need to be taught the skills that will allow them to participate as fully as possible in the planning of school and home events. This activity will teach them to engage in cooperative problem solving, anticipating needs, and participating in a group activity. It also reinforces sequencing skills. Lessons include Social Skills, Independent Living, and Recreation and Leisure.

Individual students may want to start by planning smaller activities, for example, inviting a friend for lunch.
