This manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for various practical life activities. They promote independence, develop a love for work, add to self-esteem, improve motor skills, inculcate good habits, and contribute to the normalization of the child in general.

Each exercise is fully illustrated and explained step-by-step to enhance the child’s sensory interaction with their environment.
