This program can be tailored to different age groups:
For the young bright stars: Hello, friends! We're going to go on an exciting adventure together. In this special program, you'll learn how to do lots of fun and important things all by yourself. We'll practice things like getting dressed, brushing teeth, and even helping in the kitchen. You'll also learn how to make new friends and play games with others. It's like being a superhero, but instead of flying, you'll be super good at taking care of yourself! For Teens: Welcome to the "Developing Daily Living and Life Skills for Greater Independence" program. This course is designed to equip you with essential skills that will help you navigate life more confidently and independently. We'll cover a range of topics including financial management, job readiness, advanced cooking techniques, and effective communication skills. You'll also learn about self-advocacy and how to access community resources. Our goal is to help you prepare for the transition to adulthood, whether that involves further education, employment, or living more independently. This program is all about empowering you to take control of your life and future.
