Consider this a toolkit for either very young people who are learning how to do most things for the first time, or for those with special needs, especially of a more social and/or linguistic nature. These can shape behavior, instill confidence, and equip learners who struggle with certain skills that often are used in everyday life.

This primarily is designed for teachers to facilitate, but parents could easily implement these also, with only a few exceptions (e.g. some of the songs are classroom-oriented). Check out previews of each resource for more!
