Skills to Pay the Bills
Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace Success

Soft skills are necessary for youth to succeed in education, job training, independent living, community participation, and, ultimately, in the workplace. Families of youth with and without disabilities play a key role in helping their children learn expected behaviors, understand the unspoken rules of the workplace, and deal with personality conflicts. Parents are also aware of their child's strengths and can build upon those assets in the process of developing soft skills.
