One of twenty course guides in the Community Living Skills Guide for the College for Living series, this document provides guidelines and workbook activities for the course, Beginning Spanish. The series of courses for developmentally disabled adults is intended to supplement residential programs and to aid in orienting institutionalized persons to eventual integration into the community. Focus of the materials is on the student's ability to communicate orally with the help of visual aids. Objectives, vocabulary, activities, and materials needed are provided for thirteen steps on such topics as colors and shapes, greetings, counting, foods, animals, days of the week and months, family members, articles of clothing, parts of the body and the senses, and activities at home and school. Other guides in the series and related documents (a volunteer training workshop packet and curriculum gulde for fourteen courses) are available separately. (See note.) (YLB)
