Living With Others

As educators, we love watching our students learn, grow, and succeed.

However, it’s important to recognize that academic excellence alone is not enough to help them succeed in the real world. Social skills are just as important, if not more so!

Stanfield Company’s “Living with Others” program is the ultimate program that can help teach your students the social skills they need for all walks of life. This program covers over 100 essential social skills that are essential for any student to learn – all backed by Stanfield’s humorous teaching model and in-depth video modeling.

The Living With Others Program is a comprehensive library consisting of Home of Your Own and Community Man. Home of Your Own depicts classic domestic conflicts and provides students with the cooperative skills needed to live with others.

Community Man teaches students how to interact with medical staff, pharmacists, police, and the fire department in 32 easy-to-follow scenarios. The program equips students with the skills to ask for help in case of emergencies and teaches them how to interact appropriately with emergency responders. This program is essential in teaching students how to get emergency help, and how to interact with police, firefighters, and medical staff.

The Living With Others Program from the Stanfield Company offers the ultimate bundle of social skills instruction. It teaches the 100 vital social skills needed for graceful social interactions, as well as how to become a good roommate and how to get emergency help.

The Living With Others Program includes two main components: Home of Your Own and Community Man.

It goes beyond teaching social and emergency skills. It also emphasizes the importance of being a good roommate. This component is especially important for individuals who will be living in shared spaces with peers or housemates.

These skills help your students understand the emotions and feelings of others, creating a cohesive and supportive environment centered around mutual respect.

Community Man

Community Man teaches students how to interact with medical staff, pharmacists, police, and the fire department in 32 easy-to-follow scenarios.

As educators, we have a responsibility to provide our students with the tools they need to become self-sufficient and independent adults.

The video modeling approach used throughout both Home of Your Own and Community Man ensures that students see exactly what successful social interactions look like. This visual learning method is especially effective for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who benefit from concrete demonstrations rather than abstract instructions. Educators consistently report that students retain these skills and apply them in their daily lives.
