Need help deciding what type of resource might best support a skill you are trying to teach?
Here we will explain Accessible Adulthood’s resource classification system to easily understand what type of resources we provide.
Checklist
A Checklist provides a reminder of what to do in order to complete a task.
Checklists are appropriate for those learners who already know how to complete a task, but need a reminder to complete all of the steps each time.
Checklists do not include why or how to complete each step.

Cheat Sheet
A Cheat Sheet is a quick, 1-2 page reference that learners can look back on to get important information.
We condense important information into a resource that can be accessed at any time to assist a learner in completing a task.

Manual
A Manual is a comprehensive resource that teaches every aspect of a task.
We break down activities into step-by-step directions to understand how to complete them.
Manuals often provide additional tips for both teachers and learners in how to approach and complete complicated tasks.

Reference
A Reference is a resource that helps guide a learner through a more familiar skill or task.
A reference is often desgined to be used as you are completing a task. For example, it may guide a learner in preparing for a phone call, appointment, or outing.
