Project Shop is a US Department of Education development project (H327A000056) at the University of Georgia's College of Education. We are developing a video and interactive, multimedia CD-ROM that will help teach functional community skills to students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities. Current development activities include production of instructional videos and development of a multimedia CD-ROM.
|
As video production and multimedia development activities progress, sample video clips and interactive modules will be available in the Products section of this web site. |

| We believe that products of this nature are the next generation of instructional tools to help individuals with disabilities become fully active in the community and be able to do what the rest of us take for granted. We expect that these products will be motivational and engaging for students of all ability levels--not just a specific group. | |

These instructional materials will help students acquire skills in the areas of employment, functional literacy, mobility, and purchasing. Video episodes will show engaging stories of individuals with disabilities shopping and working in a community supermarket. The CD-ROM will give students an interactive virtual trip to the supermarket in order to practice making good decisions in a safe and helpful environment, while also helping them to make a successful transition to real-life situations.
