Skills Development

 

Our skill development program is used to assist clients in acquiring, retaining, and improving self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills. We offer peer mentoring to help our clients successfully be included in their natural environment. Our skills development programs focus on the following aspects:

​

Personal Skills Development:

Focuses on improving skills like personal care, conflict resolution, and interpersonal relationships.

Community Participation:

Helps members engage in community activities, including transportation use and accessing local resources.

Daily Living Skills:

Provides training in essential daily activities like cooking, cleaning, shopping, and money management.

Community Resource Awareness:

Educates members about local services like police, fire, and social services to support their independence.

Peer Mentoring:

We use trained staff who specialize in behavior de-escalation and redirection with comprehensive data collection.

 

We focus on generalizing the individual’s skills while out in the community. The individuals will focus on personal skills, daily living skills, community resource awareness all while participating in the community. These activities will include large group or small group relative to age, behavior level, cognitive ability and other factors that promote a successful skills development environment.
