Preschool Life Skills (PLS) is a research-based curriculum that provides a set of tools to help teach important social and life skills for school success. Studies show PLS increases positive social behaviors and reduces challenging behaviors for children with and without disabilities. In this session, educators and families will explore PLS tools and resources, including a set of lessons developed by Dr. Gregory Hanley, and a tour of the START Project Google site, so they can start using them right away.
