Look Lead Follow
Welcome! A Quick Message to You:
Hello! My name is Lisa and I have been an Occupational Therapist for the past 7 years. From the very beginning I was captivated by 2 things: learning through play and developing functional independence! The LookLEADFollow Curriculum combines these two concepts to create a fun, motivating, and captivating Life Skills Program, that develops skills spanning from basic self care, to money management, and even organization. This curriculum systematically exposes and teaches children a variety of different skills sets, while constantly engaging them in real time practice in observational and social skills that they need to be independent in today's society. LookLEADFollow believes there is so much more to life skills than set tasks you learn to achieve...it is the journey towards adulthood; and this curriculum ensures that the journey is a memorable one. Welcome to our world of Independence!

What is Lookleadfollow?
LookLEADFollow
LookLEADFollow is the basic observational and problem solving skill that demonstrates one's adaptability and level of independence in any situation. When creating this curriculum, a lot of brainstorming went into identifying what foundational skill will always benefit our children in every situation. What could possibly help our students ALL the time…finally the light bulb clicked! No matter what age you are, where you are, or what you’re doing, there is a basic skill that enables you to navigate and accomplish any task. This skill was broken down into 3 simple words: Look, Lead, Follow.
