Approach
How Essential for Living works.
Essential for Living is a comprehensive functional life skills curriculum and assessment system designed for individuals with moderate-to-severe disabilities. The program was developed over more than eight years by Patrick McGreevy, PhD, BCBA-D, Troy Fry, MS, BCBA, and Colleen Cornwall, Ed.D., BCBA-D, with the curriculum concept originating in 2004.
The Essential for Living program provides evidence-based teaching procedures, assessment protocols, planning forms, and professional training resources. It is specifically designed to address must-have functional and communication skills for learners where other developmental approaches may not be the primary fit. The curriculum can be used alongside complementary programs such as the VB-MAPP, Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), ABLLS, and CABAS Curriculum.
Essential for Living materials are distributed through direct sales and authorized resellers, with products available for purchase through their online store. The company maintains an active presence through training webinars, professional development offerings, and ongoing curriculum support. The program serves educators, behavior analysts, and practitioners working with children and adults with moderate-to-severe disabilities across multiple settings.
