Fall yard and porch chores are real seasonal household jobs, taught as step-by-step visual routines a student can follow and then do at home. This pack has two of them, raking leaves and porch and entry fall cleanup, each a six-step visual with a photo on every action step, a Did I finish self-check, cut-apart sequencing cards, a comprehension check and a vocabulary trio. A weekly fall chore tracker builds the habit across the seven days of the week, and a reusable data sheet and two IEP goals let a teacher score the same routines the student practiced. It extends the Cleaning and Laundry routine format and is framed around taking care of your own yard and porch, for teens and young adults in life skills and transition programs.

Questions from teachers
- What is in this pack, and who is it for?
- It has two step-by-step visual routines, raking leaves and a porch and entry fall cleanup, each a full-page visual with a photo per action step, a self-check, sequencing cards, a comprehension check and vocabulary. It is written for teens and young adults from about 13 to 21 in special education, life skills and transition programs, and for families running the same jobs at home. These are real seasonal tasks, not a pretend activity.
- How does it teach the routine?
- In three levels that fade the support. The student starts by matching the supply cards and following the full-page visual, then moves to cutting and ordering the step cards, then to the Did I finish self-checklist alone while you take data. Send the routines home for the weekend, where a real yard and a real porch make the practice count.
- Is this framed as cleaning up after other people?
- No, and that is deliberate. The routines are framed as taking care of your own yard and your own porch, which is the dignity framing and the honest one. The same skills transfer to paid grounds, landscaping and facilities work later, but the pack never implies a student's job is cleaning up after others.
- What about outdoor safety and tools?
- The routines use hand tools a teen can manage with supervision: a rake, a broom, a cleaning cloth and yard bags, with work gloves for the leaves. There is no power equipment in the pack, and an adult supervises outdoor work. If your setting uses a mower or a powered blower, that is an adult or a separately taught task, not part of these routines.
- What formats do I get, and how is it delivered?
- Print-ready PDFs in US Letter and A4. Delivery is instant: the download unlocks the moment Stripe checkout completes, a copy of the link is emailed to you, and the files stay in your My Resources library behind a magic link, so a lost download is never a problem. The pack is licensed for personal and single-classroom use by the purchaser.
