Because
we are dedicated to helping students develop maximum personal potential,
we are committed to assisting them in achieving the highest level
of skills development possible for each individual client. This
means creating highly customized training programs for each client.
Self-care skills are important, not only to our students but
also to our their caregivers. Acquiring improved self-care skills
allows our students a greater sense of dignity and confidence.
Communication skills and their mastery are critical to each
student. Improved communication skills give students more satisfying
and rewarding interpersonal interactions.
Mobility skills provide our students with a greater degree of
physical freedom and higher confidence in their own abilities to
navigate within their boundaries.
Domestic
skills give our students the opportunity to participate in domestic
life activities such as cooking, laundry and house cleaning, allowing
our students an added measure of independence.
Fine
and gross motor skills development is a continuing challenge that
each of our students face. Improving their fine and gross motor
skills gives our students greater levels of mastery in all other
areas of personal skill development.
Vocational
skills enable
developmentally disabled individuals to learn the work and life
skills requisite for community employment. Rehabilitation counseling,
job skills training, and subcontract work give students an opportunity
to practice their skills in authentic job settings.
