Special education teacher needs differentiated morning work to keep higher-functioning students with intellectual disabilities engaged after they finish their routine tasks earlier than peers.

Workarounds Described

• teacher manually seeks suggestions to keep higher-functioning students busy for 30 extra minutes
• all students complete the same non-differentiated paper checklist, job application, and personal identifier forms regardless of ability

Implied Software Gaps

• App that automatically extends or adapts life-skill activities based on student finishing time and ability
• Digital version of morning routine tasks that self-adjusts to student pace and provides scaffolded follow-up

SkillStretch Independent Learner

A digital platform that extends morning life-skills routines with personalized, independent activities for students who finish early. It adapts to each student's ability, offering additional practice on job applications, personal data, or functional academics without teacher intervention. Teachers can monitor progress and adjust content while students stay engaged and productive.
